The Influence of Contour Form Geometric Features and the Number of Cutting Passes on the Surface Quality Characteristics and Critical Points of Cutting Tools Fabricated by Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM).

Since one of the effective methods for producing the form-cutting tools used in the form-turning process involves utilizing a wire cut machine, the effect of the geometric characteristics of the form contour on reducing the negative effects of the recast layer was investigated in this research. The basic assumption of the components for each type of profile form is based on a combination of four modes, i.e.

Evaluation of the Surface Integrity and Recast Layer in Electrical Discharge Turning of WC-Co Composites.

Tungsten carbide (WC) and its composites are typically associated with high hardness and high wear resistance, posing challenges in conventional machining processes like turning. To address the machining difficulties of WC-Co, electrical discharge turning (EDT) was proposed. The rotational speed in EDT is a key factor influencing the machining results; however, conflicting reports exist about its impact on the EDT process.

Experimental Study of the Surface Quality of Form-Cutting Tools Manufactured via Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Using Different Process Parameters.

Form-cutting tools are an economical choice for turning parts with defined profiles in mass production. The effects of the form contour of these tools-produced by the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process-on tool quality were investigated in this research. This study focuses on reducing the adverse effects of the recast layer induced by WEDM on form-cutting tools.

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Machining Parameters on the Performance of Form-Cutting Tools Manufactured by Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) and Grinding Processes.

In this research, a comparison between two methods of grinding and WEDM and the chip formation of each form tool was studied through a set of designs of experiments. A multi-functional form tool with different cutting-edge shapes was designed to compare different production methods, and a grinding machine and a five-axis wire-cutting machine were made. The form tools by the wire cutting method were made with three different machining states, rough, semi-finish, and finish.
