[0001] The present invention provides a method for preparing a copper graphene nanocomposite coated aluminum alloy, more particularly, to the copper graphene nanocomposite electrode for electro-discharge machining (EDM).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Electro-discharge machining (EDM) is a non-conventional machining process for cutting any conductive material irrespective of its hardness. The performance of the electro-discharge machining (EDM) process for efficient cutting relies on various properties like electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and resistance to heat of an electrode. The higher these properties lead to developing more current within a shorter time and it can be easily delivered to a workpiece with the help of a spark.
[0003] Conventional electrodes like copper, brass, graphite, and their alloys are generally used in electro-discharge machining (EDM) for machining different hard materials. However, the high cost and the high tool wear rate (TWR) of these conventional electrode leads to create problem while machining with EDM.
[0004] Presently a prior art EP3053688A1 discloses a wire electrode for electrical discharge machines. The wire electrode includes a core preferably made of copper, brass, molybdenum, tungsten, or steel and a coating, which contains graphene.
[0005] However, there is a need for an electrode that is configured to reduce electrode wear rate and improve material removal rate (MRR) and surface finish.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] One object of the present invention is to provide an electrode having high electrical and thermal conductive properties for providing high material removal rate (MRR) and low tool wear rate (TWR) during electro-discharge machining (EDM).
[0007] The present invention provides a copper graphene nanocomposite electrode that is enabled to provide high material removal rate (MRR) and having low tool wear rate (TWR) during the electro-discharge machining (EDM). The copper graphene nanocomposite electrode provides a high surface finish during electro-discharge machining (EDM). Further, the copper graphene nanocomposite coating over aluminum alloy provides a low cost and high wear resistance tool for electro-discharge machining (EDM).
[0008] The present invention provides a method for preparing a copper graphene nanocomposite coated aluminum alloy, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method is configured for preparing a base electrolytic bath by mixing a copper sulphate pentahydrate and a sulfuric acid, adding graphene into the base electrolytic bath, adding at least one dispersing agent into the base electrolytic bath, mixing the base electrolytic bath, the graphene, and the at least one dispersing agent using a mixing device. The method is further configured for using a pure copper as an anode and an anodized aluminum alloy as cathode for preparing the copper graphene nanocomposite coated aluminum alloy.
[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, a concentration of the copper sulphate pentahydrate in the base electrolytic bath is about 200g/L. The concentration of the sulfuric acid in the base electrolytic bath is about 20g/L.
[0010] In yet one exemplary embodiment, the concentration of the graphene in the base electrolytic bath is selected from the group consisting of about 0.25 g/L, about 0.5 g/L, about 0.75 g/L, and about 1 g/L.
[0011] In yet one exemplary embodiment, the at least one dispersing agent is selected from the group consisting of cetyltri-methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium doddery-glycol, and poly (acrylic acid). The mixing device is at least one of an ultrasonic bath and a magnetic stirrer.
