Abstract

Recent developments in material science have concentrated not only on the improvement in mechanical properties, but also on the machinability that was difficult for system profiles. The present research explains the machinability assessment of the part of the sintered powder metallurgy using an electric discharge machining. The ferrous clay matrix preparations are constructed from iron–carbon–copper material and bentonite clay. The selected input parameters for the measurement of machinability are wt. % of clay, current (A), pulse on time (µs) and voltage (V), whereas the electrode wear rate, material removal rate and surface roughness (R_a) are considered as performance features. Results show that the performance parameters have been optimized at three different parametric conditions. Further, to obtain single optimum condition the hybrid GRA-TOPSOS methodology has been implemented for maximum MRR with minimum EWR and low surface roughness. The single optimum condition has been found at 5% clay, current 7 A, voltage 49 V and pulse on time 400 µs. The study of micro-structure and chemical composition of machined surfaces has been carried out using scanning electron microscopy with X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectrometry analysis, respectively. The SEM exposes the less recast layer and micro-cracks during electrical discharge machining of ferrous clay composite.
