Inc.2nd International Advances in Applied Physics and Materials Science Congress, APMAS 2012 -- 26 April 2012 through 29 April 2012 -- Antalya --The purpose of this study is to define the effects of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process parameters on surface roughness for Al/B 4Cp metal matrix composites (MMCs) having different amounts of reinforcement particle (3, 6, and 12 wt.%). Totally nine experiments were performed according to the experimental design method conducted by Taguchi L9 orthogonal array on Al/B4Cp MMC samples to determine the effect of WEDM process parameters on the surface roughness. The particle reinforcement amount (wt.%) is the most dominant factor (60.69%) on the surface roughness and it is followed by pulse on time (36.28%) and wire feed (1.49%), respectively. The surface roughness value taken from confirmation experiments and predicted value is 5.26µm, 5.37µm respectively. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.en10.1063/1.4751619info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMetal matrix compositespowder metallurgywire electrical discharge machiningConference Object1476317320N/A
