Summary
This paper investigates the eect of electrical discharge machining parameters on the surface roughness as an alternative method for machining of Al/SiCp metal matrix composites produced with the powder metallurgy.Current, electrode type, pulse-on-time, particle reinforcement weight ratio and voltage were used as the process parameters.An experimental plan (L18) was constituted by using the Taguchi orthogonal design.Results of experiments showed that pulse-on-time (34%) and current (31.26%) is the most inuencing parameters.Besides this, the percentage contribution of particle reinforcement on the surface roughness is 6.71%.
