There are several electrical and non-electrical factors having the significant effect on tool wear in electrical discharge machining (EDM). It is very difficult to select the parameters correctly. Likewise, the tool wear rate is changed dramatically with workpiece material and electrode material. Until now no attempt is appeared that yields the tool wear characteristics in EDM on Ti-5Al-2.5Sn retaining Graphite as electrode. Thus, in this study a mathematical model is developed to predict the tool wear rate which will provide the opportunity of proper selection of the EDM parameters and make the EDM cost effective. To model both the linear and non-linear equation is applied using the experimental data which are obtained performing the experimentation as design of experiment. The developed model has been verified through analysis of variance (ANOVA). The second-order non-linear model is found as appropriate as compared with a linear model. It is evidenced that the proposed model can effectively predict the tool wear rate (TWR) and adequately explains the variation in the machining parameters on TWR.References
