An axisymmetric three-dimensional model or temperature distribution in the electrical discharge machining process has been developed using the finite element method to estimate the surface integrity characteristics of AISI H13 tool steel as workpiece. White layer thickness, depth of heat affected zone, and arithmetical mean roughness consisting of the studied surface integrity features on which the effect of process parameters, including pulse on-time and pulse current were investigated. Additionally, the experiments were carried out under the designed full factorial procedure to validate the numerical results. Both numerical and experimental results show that increasing the pulse on-time leads to a higher white layer thickness, depth of heat affected zone, and the surface roughness. On the other hand, an increase in the pulse current results in a slight decrease of the white layer thickness and depth of heat affected zone, but a coarser surface roughness. Generally, there is a good agreement between the experimental and the numerical results.

Experimental investigation of effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness in the WEDM process Gökler, Mustafa İlhan (2000-10-01) The experimental study presented in this paper aims to select the most suitable cutting and offset parameter combination for the wire electrical discharge machining process in order to get the desired surface roughness value for the machined workpieces. A series of experiments have been performed on 1040 steel material of thicknesses 30, 60 and 80 mm, and on 2379 and 2738 steel materials of thicknesses 30 and 60 mm. The test specimens have been cut by using different cutting and offset parameter combination...
A numerical method for predicting depth of heat affected zone in EDM process for AISI H13 tool steel Shabgard, M. R.; Seyedzavvar, M.; Oliaei, S. Nadimi Bavil; Ivanov, A. (2011-07-01) This study presents a finite element model (FEM) to model temperature distribution for AISI H13 tool steel workpiece in electrical discharge machining (EDM) at different machining parameters (pulse current, pulse on-time, temperature-sensitive material properties, size of heat source, and material flushing efficiency). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) and micro-hardness tests were used to validate accuracy of FEM predictions. Increasing pulse on-time leads to a higher de...
Experimental Thermal Performance Characterization of Flat Grooved Heat Pipes Alijani, Hossein; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Akkus, Yigit; Dursunkaya, Zafer (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-15) The thermal characterization of aluminum flat grooved heat pipes is performed experimentally for different groove dimensions. Three heat pipes with groove widths of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 1.5 mm are used in the experiments. The effect of the amount of the working fluid is extensively studied for each groove width. The results reveal that, although all three succeed in dissipating the heat input through the phase change of the working fluid by continuous evaporation and condensation, the effectiveness of the he...

Analytical solutions to orthotropic variable thickness disk problems Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Varlı, Ekin (2016-01-01) An analytical model is developed to estimate the mechanical response of nonisothermal, orthotropic, variable thickness disks under a variety of boundary conditions. Combining basic mechanical equations of disk geometry with the equations of orthotropic material, the elastic equation of the disk is obtained. This equation is transformed into a standard hypergeometric differential equation by means of a suitable transformation. An analytical solution is then obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. The ...
