Material Removal Rate Enhancement Induced by Electrochemical Discharge Machining for Refractory High-Entropy Alloys Compared with EDM.
Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are categorized as difficult-to-machine materials due to their excellent mechanical properties. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a special processing method for RHEAs, which faces challenges such as low machining efficiency. In this work, electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) was proposed for (TiVZrTaW)99.5N0.5 and (TiVZrTa)W5 (at. %, denoted as W20N0.5 and W5, respectively) RHEAs, and their machining performances were investigated and compared with EDM. At a peak current of 25 A, the material removal rate (MRR) using ECDM is more than twice that of EDM for W20N0.5 (reaching to 1.24 mm3/min) and 1.5 times higher than that for W5. Both W20N0.5 and W5 RHEAs exhibited higher MRR in ECDM based on the analyses of the influence of top diameter, bottom diameter, machining depth, and surface roughness (Ra). The process and mechanisms of material removal were examined through the microstructural morphology and elemental distribution analyses. This work proposed a more effective route for machining RHEAs by ECDM compared to the conventional EDM.
期刊介绍:
Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300), an international and interdisciplinary journal of entropy and information studies, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish as much as possible their theoretical and experimental details. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. If there are computation and the experiment, the details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
