Original Abstract

Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is an unconventional machining technology, widely spread in different sectors of many industries. The machining uses periodically repeating electrical impulses, which allows all materials with at least a minimum electrical conductivity to be machined. The machining tool is a thin wire that can be made of many different materials. Wire electrode material requirements vary from industry to industry. This study aimed to increase the efficiency of WEDM through an analysis of the influence of the type of wire material on the machining of Albromet W130 copper alloy. The analysis comprised a molybdenum, brass and a copper wire of a 0.25 mm diameter and a Box-Behnken design of experiment totalling 42 rounds. The design of experiment results analysis covered cutting speed, machined surfaces' topography and morphology, and the subsurface layer condition. Furthermore, an analysis of the wire electrodes used in the experiment was carried out. The highest cutting speed was achieved using a copper wire and the lowest R a values were achieved in samples machined with a molybdenum wire.
