Investigation of experimental and numerical analysis of thermal load of WEDM on all metals through process parameters on wire electrode temperature Proc. Inst. Mech. Eng. E J. Process Mech. Eng. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Rajesh Gupta, Sunil Agrawal, R Srinivas, Anil Singh Yadav, Rajan Kumar, Sherzod Shukhratovich Abdullaev
The thermal load on wire electrode in a wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is the most important factor in predicting wire electrode breakage. Thermal failure of wire electrode may be expected when the maximum temperature of the wire crosses a critical value. The maximum temperature of wire electrode is a function of process parameters of the machine and hence the failure depends upon what
