 INTRODUCTION

• ECDM is Non Traditional Machining Process

• Hybrid Machining process of EDM and ECM
• Very small material removal
• It is mainly used for micro machining
• Non-Conducting materials
• Other names
• DMNC - Discharge Machining of Non Conductors
• SAE - Spark Assisted Etching
• ECSM - Electro Chemical Spark Machining
• SACE - Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving
• ECAM - Electro Chemical Anode Machining
• Titanium coated tungsten carbide tool
• Borosilicate Glass

 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

Objectives
• To investigate the influence of coated tool on machining performance and compare
with the non-coated tool.
• To optimize processes parameters like voltage, electrolyte concentration, duty factor
and tool rotation.
• To develop and simulate a model for tool wear rate.

Scope
• This project will investigate the effect of a titanium coated tungsten carbide twist drill
bit in ECDM Process for tool wear rate, material removal rate, heat affected zone,
radial overcut by conducting various experiments and also evaluate the optimum
parameters by ANOVA for machining of borosilicate glass and verify them with a
simulated model.
