Abstract:

The surface processing method is one of the non-traditional surface finish methods. With the advancement of manufacturing technologies, the parts used in the industry have become more and more complex. It is not possible to improve the surface quality of these complex geometric parts, used in the aviation, medical and automotive industries, by traditional methods. Also, the good use of time and the reduction of costs is a very important expectation in the industry. In this study, the surface of the titanium alloy material with high heat and corrosion resistance, which is often used in the aviation industry, has been improved using the surface processing method with the purifying pot. The Taguchi method has been used for the determination of processing parameters with the switches for samples prepared by cutting with electrical wire erosion and for the experimental design. In the experimental study, the processing parameters with scraper macun have measured the effects on the turn number, scraper one length, scraper macun ratio, output parameters surface smoothness (Ra) values, material lifting rates (MKO) and white layer thickness. The elimination of the white layer formed by the effect of the high temperature revealed during the cutting with electrical erosion has been detected by SEM analyses.
