摘要
The experimental analysis presented aims at the selection of the most optimal machining parameter combination for wire electrical discharge machining （WEDM） of 5083 aluminum alloy. Based on the Taguchi experimental design （L9 orthogonal array） method, a series of experiments were performed by considering pulse-on time, pulse-off time, peak current and wire tension as input parameters. The surface roughness and cutting speed were considered responses. Based on the signal-to-noise （S/N） ratio, the influence of the input parameters on the responses was determined. The optimal machining parameters setting for the maximum cutting speed and minimum surface roughness were found using Taguchi methodology. Then, additive model was employed for prediction of all （34） possible machining combinations. Finally, a handy technology table has been reported using Pareto optimality approach.
通过实验分析,优化电火花线切割5083 Al合金的工艺参数。基于Taguchi优化法,将脉宽、脉间、峰电流和线张力作为输入参数进行了系列实验。将表面粗糙度和切割速度作为响应,基于信噪比,测定了输入参数对响应的影响。通过Taguchi优化方法,得到了最大切割速度和最小表面粗糙度的最佳加工参数。再采用附加的模型预测可能的加工组合。最后,通过使用Pareto优化法,得到一个简明的工艺参数表。
