Wire Electrical Discharge Machining is one of the most effective Non-Conventional Machining method available to machine intricate shapes which are very difficult to machine with conventional machining methods, on electrically conductive materials havingvarying hardness. In this research work, an attempt hasbeen made to study the effect of process parameters of WEDM on the Surface roughness. Input process parameters considered in this work are Pulse on time (TON), Pulse off time(TOFF), Wire Feed (WF), Wire Tension(WT) and theSurface Roughness as response. Al 7075 Aluminium alloywas taken as work material and Brass coated copper wire as electrode to machine and the values of roughness obtained by varying the input process parameters were analysed using Taguchi method (L 27 orthogonal array). The measured values have been used to develop the mathematical modeland the accuracy of the model wastested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique. Based on the predicted values the interaction graphs, were drawn betweentheSurface roughnessandthe processparameterstaken for this study. It was construedthatthepulse-on time has the highest impact on the Surface roughness followed by the Wire feed, Wire tension and the Pulse-off time. The surface roughnessgot increasedwith increase in wire feed. Finally optimum parameters have been arrived to achieve better surface roughness. WEDMed surface was also examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and evinced that the physical behaviour of these process parameters on Surface roughness.Copyright © VBRI Press.

Biomanufacturing integrates life science and engineering fundamentals to produce biocompatible products improving the pre-eminence of living. Face turning is an important process used for producing the higher accuracy on metal implants especially on sliding parts. In this experiment effect of depth of cut, feed rate and cutting speeds are considered on machined Co-Cr-Mo bio-implant alloy by application of RSM. The offline and online measured surface roughness (Ra) and cutting force (Fc) were considered respectively as response variables for investigations. The experimental result shows that depth of cut and feed rate are having predominating effect on measured surface roughness and cutting force respectively. Therefore, the developed models can be efficiently used to predict the surface roughness and cutting force on the machinability of Co-Cr-Mo alloy within 95% confidence intervals ranges of measured parameters. For checking the adequacy of model a confirmation test has been conducted. The optimized parameters can be useful for industrial developments in surface generation for bio-implants.
