/2023 REVIEWER (Sign with full name) Faculty for High Quality Training - Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education DISCLAIMER I certify that this graduation project is my own research that I implemented and studied on my own. The data and figures presented in the report were cited and referenced source annotations. They are all true and trustworthy and this thesis has not yet been published in any prior research or studies. Ho Chi Minh City, 27th January 2023 (Sign with full name) Vo Tran Minh Dinh i Faculty for High Quality Training - Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Firstly, I would love to express my deepest gratitude to my instructor Assoc.
Pham Huy Tuan and other lecturers, Dr. Dang Quang Khoa and MS. Nguyen Van Khien, for their consistent support and for providing me with helpful recommendations and valuable counsel. Thanks to these words, I became a much more mature student.
I believe that the knowledge learned from those teachers helped me implement this bachelor’s thesis and reinforced my specialized knowledge, which will be invaluable for my not-too-distant future career. Moreover, I sincerely thank Dr. Tran Van Tron and MS. Dang Minh Phung for kindly allowing me to use the Die-sink EDM machine and measuring equipment.
I need their support to complete this project. Besides, I can never forget Mr. Le Nguyen Hoang Tan, a master’s student - inventor of the vibration module, who permitted me to use it – the soul of this project. He accompanies me at the start of the project and provides all of the necessary materials and assistance as I carry out the experiments.
Last but not least, big thanks and appreciation to my beloved peers and classmates for their recommendations, cooperation, encouragement, and constructive contributions to the accomplishment of this thesis from beginning to finish. Once again, thank you to all individuals who have gone through with me in this educational endeavor. Student Vo Tran Minh Dinh ii Faculty for High Quality Training - Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education SUMMARY Project title: “A vibration-assisted electrical discharge machining tool to enhance the manufacturing process”. The main goals of this thesis are to assess the influence of vertical vibration along Z-axis generated by a compliant module and determine sets of technological parameters for each output parameters such as material removal rate, tool wear rate, and surface roughness.
The thesis covered the theoretical foundations of electrical discharge machining, vibration-assisted electrical discharge machining method, piezoelectricity, compliant mechanism, and Taguchi analysis. The author also mentioned about the design procedures of vibration module. The author examined four input parameters: Discharger current, Pulse-on time, Amplitude, and Frequency vibration. Some conclusions will be elaborated by applying the Taguchi analysis method and the data gained from experiments.
• Compared with normal EDM, Vibration-assisted EDM has some superiorities. On the one hand, vibration parameters positively impact the tool wear rate and surface roughness on both bottom and side surfaces. For example, the electrode wear rate was decreased by 17.5 %, and the surface finishes on the bottom and side surfaces were enhanced by 10% and 26%, respectively. On the other hand, the vibration parameters do not affect the material removal rate.
• Regarding the Tool wear rate, the optimal set of parameters are: I = 9A; 𝐓𝐨𝐧 = 60 s; A = 2.5 m; f = 1200 Hz • Regarding the Surface roughness on bottom surfaces, the optimal set of parameters are: I = 5A; 𝐓𝐨𝐧 = 30 s; A = 0.5 m; f = 100 Hz • Regarding the Surface roughness on bottom surfaces, the optimal set of parameters are: I = 5A; 𝐓𝐨𝐧 = 60 s; A = 1.5 m; f = 800 Hz • Regarding the Material removal rate, the optimal set of parameters are: I = 9A; 𝐓𝐨𝐧 = 60 s; A = 0.5 m; f = 100 Hz Ho Chi Minh City, 27th January 2023 (Sign with full name) Vo Tran Minh Dinh iii Faculty for High Quality Training - Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education TABLE OF CONTENTS DISCLAIMER. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS. iv LIST OF ACRONYMS AND SYMBOLS. viii LIST OF FIGURES.
