Material Removal Analysis of Soda-Lime Glass by Using Electrochemical Discharge Drilling Process

摘要

The electrochemical discharge machining is integrated by electro-discharge and electro-chemical manufacturing technology. The soda-lime glass is widely used in various fields such as biomedical, optical and industrial industries. Hence, in present study the electrochemical discharge drilling process is applied on soda-lime glass material to find out the material removal rate. The Taguchi method L_(27) orthogonal array is used for present investigation. The input process parameters are taken as voltage, rotation and electrolyte concentration whereas output response is considered as material removal rate. From this analysis, it is found that voltage is the most dominant parameter for material removal rate followed by electrolyte concentration and rotation for soda-lime glass.
