Efficiency Optimization of the Electroerosive Process in µ-WEDM of Steel MS1 Sintered Using DMLS Technology.

Although the application of mathematical optimization methods for controlling machining processes has been the subject of much research, the situation is different for µ-WEDM. This fact has prompted us to fill the gap in this field in conjunction with investigating µ-WEDM's very low productivity and overall process efficiency, since the current trend is oriented towards achieving high quality of the machined area at a high manufacturing productivity. This paper discusses in detail the application of non-linear programming (NLP) methods using MATLAB to maximize the process performance of µ-WEDM maraging steel MS1 sintered using direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technology.
