Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Design and Implementation of an Electrode Feed Rate Control System in the Electrochemical Drilling Process(Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Cogun, Can; Ozerkan, Haci BekirThe interelectrode gap distance control is essential for preventing short circuit and spark discharge occurrences in the machining gap and ensuring a constant distance between the tool electrode (shortly electrode) and the workpiece throughout the electrochemical drilling (ECD) process. In this study, a gap distance control system was designed and implemented in the constructed ECD machine tool. The gap distance control strategy was based on the machining current's discrete measurement (in microsecond intervals) and changing the gap distance according to a set current value by feeding the electrode towards the workpiece or retracting it during the ECD process. The small diameter deep hole ECD experiments were conducted using 0.5 mm diameter side insulated tubular rotational electrodes with through-hole electrolyte flushing to drill Hadfield and AISI 1040 steels. The experimental results demonstrated the success of the developed control system in ECD operations yielding uniform hole geometries and smooth hole surfaces. The use of the control system eliminated the undesirable formations of spark discharges and short circuit pulses.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 26Experimental Investigation on Wire Electric Discharge Machining of Biodegradable Az91 Mg Alloy(Springer, 2021) Cogun, Can; Genc, Asim; Esen, Ziya; Bozkurt, Fatih; Urtekin, Levent; Ozerkan, Haci BekirThe AZ91 magnesium alloy, used commonly as a biodegradable material in biomedical applications, is generally formed by conventional casting method (CCM) and high-pressure die casting method (HPDCM). The AZ91 alloys exhibit poor machinability with conventional chip removal methods since they degrade at elevated temperatures. In this study, the wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) was presented as a candidate process to machine the AZ91 alloy since no cutting stresses and plastic deformations were applied by the cutting tool to the part causing elevated temperatures. In this context, the WEDM machinability of the AZ91 alloy samples produced by cold chamber HPDCM and CCM at different process parameters, was experimentally investigated. The machining performance outputs (the machining current (I), the machining rate (MR), the average surface roughness (R-a), and surface topography) were found for the varying process parameters [pulse time (t(s)), pulse-off time (t(off)), dielectric flushing pressure (P-d), and wire speed (V-w)]. The present study revealed that the I and the MR were significantly dependent on the density, the porosity, and the micro structure of the samples, and the HPDCM samples gave the higher MR and the smoother surface than that of the CCM.
