Optimization of wire electrical discharge machining parameters to improve the surface roughness of laser-cladded Stellite 6 on AISI 1018 steel
Abstract This study investigated the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) machinability of Stellite 6 laser cladded AISI 1018 structural steel, a material combination that is practically unexplored in WEDM literature. Two Taguchi L9 orthogonal array experiments were conducted: Experiment 1 examined mean voltage (...
