Experimental Investigation on the Cutting of Additively Manufactured Ti6Al4V with Wire-EDM and the Analytical Modelling of Cutting Speed and Surface Roughness
Abstrak
Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for metallic materials allow for the manufacturing of high-performance components optimised in weight, geometry, and mechanical properties. However, several post-processing operations are needed after production, including removing parts from the build platform. This operation is essential and must be performed rapidly, precisely, and with a good surface finishing. This work presents an experimental investigation of the wire electric discharge machining (W-EDM) process of Ti6Al4V specimens produced by AM technologies. The influence of cutting parameters is analysed compared to the material produced by conventional technology. Models of cutting speed and surface roughness obtained by a W-EDM are inferred from the collected data. Remarkably, the results show that the manufacturing process used to produce the components plays a crucial role in defining the final surface roughness and the most significant parameters affecting the machining performance.
