Özet
AZ91 magnesium alloys have poor machinability when conventional chip removal processes are used due to their low thermal stability and high susceptibility to softening and oxidation at elevated temperatures, which lead to excessive tool wear, poor surface quality, and deformation-induced machining challenges. This study investigated the impact of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) parameters on material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR) using magnesium. For this purpose, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) were performed to find the optimal settings. Findings indicate that pulse-on time (Ton) significantly affects both MRR and SR: higher Ton increases MRR but worsens SR, while shorter Ton improves SR but reduces MRR. Pulse-off time (Toff ) and wire feed rate (WF) have secondary effects. Longer Toff improves surface quality but slightly reduces MRR, and lower WF improves cutting efficiency and MRR. The optimal settings identified by the Taguchi method were observed to be 123 µs Ton, 55 µs Toff, and 6 m min−1 WF for high MRR; and 123 µs Ton, 58 µs Toff, and 4 m min−1 WF for reduced SR. In summary, understanding how WEDM parameters affect MRR and SR allows manufacturers to achieve efficient material removal and desired surface quality.
