Electrical Discharge Machining
Tapering effect of parameter EDM in hole making process. EDM is one of non traditional machining. There are some advantage of this process for instance suitable for machining high strength temperature resistance material, accurate and be able to make complex geometric feature. How ever, there are some weakness: low rate of material removal, tapering, high cost and environment problem. This paper will examine the influence of cutting parameter toward tapering using EDM in hole making process. The parameters are electric current (from 15 A, 20 A, 45 A, and 60 Ampere) and the duty factor (from 39%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 90%). Experiment has been done with SKD 11 as work place material. Cut for electrode and kerosene for dielectric fluid. Taper can be measured by using Triobor which has 1 micrometer resolution. Conclusion of the experimental showed that variation of electric current gives different taper values.n
