Abstract
Wire electrical discharge machining is an unconventional machining method for the production of complex-shaped and very precise parts. Because of the high energy consumption of this machining process, it is necessary to maximize the cutting speed for its appropriate implementation. The abrasion-resistant steel Creusabro 4800 was chosenas the test material for this experiment, which is widely used especially for machines working in mines and quarries.In order to maximize the cutting speed, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) has been built, which uses 18 expert propositions to “model” the cutting speed based on fiveselected input parameters: gap voltage, pulse on time, pulse off time, discharge current, and wire feed. The obtained results were further verified by a design of experiment consisting of 33 tests for fiveselected input factors. Using the fuzzy inference system, the optimum machine parameters setup was found to maximize the cutting speed, in which the gap voltage = 60 V, pulse on time = 10 µs, pulse off time = 30 µs, wire feed = 10 mmin1 and discharge current = 35 A. The predicted value of the cutting speed using the fuzzy inference system is 6.471 mmmin1.
