TL;DR: In this paper, electrical discharge machining (EDM) can be achieved in gas with the help of a high-pressure gas flow supplied through a thin-walled pipe electrode, which can be removed and flushed out of the working gap without being reattached to the electrode surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the development of mathematical models for correlating the interrelationships of various WEDM machining parameters of Inconel 601 material such as: peak current, duty factor, wire tension and water pressure on the metal removal rate, wear ratio and surface roughness.

TL;DR: In this article, a feed-forward neural network is used to associate the cutting parameters with the cutting performance and a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is applied to the neural network for solving the optimal cutting parameters based on a performance index within the allowable working conditions.
Abstract: Owing to the complexity of wire electrical discharge machining (wire-EDM), it is very difficult to determine optimal cutting parameters for improving cutting performance. The paper utilizes a feedforward neural network to associate the cutting parameters with the cutting performance. A simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is then applied to the neural network for solving the optimal cutting parameters based on a performance index within the allowable working conditions. Experimental results have shown that the cutting performance of wire-EDM can be greatly enhanced using this new approach.
