1. INTRODUCTION
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been widely investigating in re-
cent years and are now utilized in many engineering fields including
aerospace, military, automotive industries, electronic packaging, and

sporting goods because of their low density in combination with their
excellent wear resistance, high specific strength, hardness, and frac-
ture toughness [1—6]. However, machinability of MMCs is considered
difficult in connection with hard reinforcement elements in matrix
structure [1—7]. Boron carbide (B4C) is extremely hard reinforcement
material with the superior properties such as good wear resistance,
high hardness, low specific weight, corrosion resistance, high melting
point, adequate resistance to chemical agents, and good mechanical
properties. These outstanding performances of B4C made it a prefera-
ble reinforced material, widely used in numerous industrial applica-
tions requiring high resistance, such as the nuclear industry, for tank
armour, and ballistic protections. Hence, several researchers have
studied the production and machinability properties of MMCs rein-
forced with B4C in recent years [8, 9]. However, there are two main
problems hindering the superior properties of B4C, one is that very
high temperature is required for its sintering and the other is the low
fracture toughness [10]. Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM)
is a high precision machining method widely used for hard materials,
metallic alloys, and graphite that would be very difficult to cut with
traditional machine tools using the best economic cutting tools. In
wire-cutting technique, a thin single-strand metal wire is machined
the workpiece submerged in a tank of deionized water to utilize heat
from electrical sparks. WEDM uses a nonstop cutting wire electrode to
machine the desired shape alongside the cutting path using 0.05—
0.30 mm in diameter thin copper, brass or tungsten wire and can ma-
chine very small corner radius with high precision [11]. Motorcu et al.
studied the influence of cutting parameters on the surface roughness
and material removal rate (MRR) in cutting of Al/B4C/Gr hybrid com-
posites using WEDM dependence on the wire speed, pulse-on time and
pulse-off time. They observed that the most significant parameter on
surface roughness and MRR was the wire speed with 85.94% contribu-
tion rate [12]. Yan et al. investigated the effects of machining process
on surface roughness (Ra), cutting width, and material removal rate
and wire breakage behaviour in the WEDM of Al6061 composites with
different reinforcement ratios of Al2O3. The test results showed that
the Al2O3 reinforcement volume fraction influences on the Ra, kerf and
MMR. They also reported that a high wire speed, very low wire tension,
and high flushing rate must be chosen to prevent wire breakage [13].
Shandilya et al. studied the effect of the input parameters on average
cutting speed during WEDM of Al6061/SiC metal matrix composite.
Servo voltage is the more significant input parameter for average cut-
ting speed than pulse-off time and wire feed rate [14]. The surface
roughness and material removal rate were increased with increase in
pulse-on time and decreased with increase in pulse-off time. MRR was
influenced by interactions between pulse-on time (Ton) and pulse-off

time (Toff), pulse-on time (Ton) and peak current (IP), pulse-off time
(Toff) and peak current (IP). Pulse-on time (Ton) and peak current (IP)
affected the machined surface roughness [15]. Satish Kumar et al. in-
vestigated the effects of different machining parameters on MRR and
Ra in the WEDM of Al6063/SiC MMC at different reinforcement rati-
os. The researchers reported that surface quality and MRR were de-
creased with the increasing percentage volume fraction of SiC particles
[16]. Surface roughness and gap width were mainly affected by the
pulse-on time in the WEDM of Al 6061 reinforced with Al2O3 particle
MMC [17]. Pulse-on time and current were the most effective parame-
ters for machining speed and surface quality in the WEDM of Al—SiC
metal matrix composite [18].
2. EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS AND METHOD
The experimental workpieces were produced from high-purity alumin-
ium 6061 mixed with 15% commercial-grade B4C powders using pow-
der metallurgy method. The median size of Aluminium 6061 powder
used in metal matrix composite (MMC) was 100 m and B4C powders
had average size of 10 m. Aluminium alloy and B4C powders were
mixed to achieve homogeneity for 45 minutes in a three-dimensional
Turbula mixer. The mixed powders were compacted by cold pressing
under 300 MPa. The specimens were sintered in a vacuum furnace at
550C for 60 minutes and extruded using a pre-heated extrusion mould
of temperature 500C for 1 hour. The thickness of produced composite
sheets was 12.7 mm. Workpiece materials were analysed using a JEOL
JSM 6060 LW scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy disper-
sive spectroscopy (EDS). The optical and SEM micrograph of the sur-
face texture of the machined composite and B4C reinforcement ele-
ments can be seen in Fig. 1. The optical and SEM micrographs indicat-

INVESTIGATION OF B4C PARTICULATE REINFORCED Al 6061 BASED COMPOSITE 1243
ed that the B4C particles distribution is fairly uniform in composite
specimen and achieved a good interfacial bonding between matrix and
B4C particles. The chemical compositions and mechanical properties of
Al6061 alloy and reinforced with 15% wt. B4C metal matrix composite
are presented in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. The hardness meas-
urements of specimens were performed by Vickers HV3 hardness ma-
chine EMCO TEST Duravision 200 applying a load of 3 kg for a period
of 5 s. The average hardness value for each sample was obtained by
measuring five different areas. Impact energy of composite samples
was tested using sharply impact-testing machine Instron Wolpert
PW30 with maximum hammer energy of 150 J. Impact tests were ap-
plied to V-notched specimens for fracture toughness determination of
composite samples according to EN ISO 148.01. Tensile and flexural
tests were performed using Instron 3363 universal testing machine at
a constant strain rate of 1 mm/s. Every impact, tensile and flexural
tests were employed at least three times, and the average value for each
set of the composites samples was calculated.
The experiments were performed on the Mitsubishi MV1200 series
CNC WEDM. Rectangular parts of size 31.76.3512.7 mm3
were cut
from the workpiece material as shown in Fig. 2. A brass wire electrode
of diameter 0.30 mm was used as the cutting tool for conducting the
experiments and deionized water was used as the dielectric fluid. The
machined surface of the workpiece was measured using Mitutoyo

chining parameters on the surface roughness during cutting of B4C re-
inforced metal matrix composite. The effects of spark gap voltage,
peak current and wire tension on surface roughness using a brass elec-
trode were investigated. The experiments were carried out based on the
Taguchi L18 (2
132) with a mixed orthogonal array and the analysis of
variance (ANOVA) has been employed using statistical software
Minitab 16 to determine the significant contribution of machining pa-
rameters. The experimental time and cost can be decreased using or-
thogonal arrays by reducing the number of tests and minimizes the ef-
fects of parameters that cannot be controlled.
Furthermore, it ensures a simple, powerful, and systematic ap-

proach to specifying the optimal machining factors during the experi-
ments. A number of external factors not considered in the experi-
mental design can affect the experimental results. These external fac-
tors and their effect on the results in terms of quality characteristics
are named ‘the noise’. The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) computes
the accuracy of the quality characteristic. The S/N ratio is calculated
in two processes. First, mean squared deviation (MSD) between the
experimental results and optimal values are calculated by equation (1).
Second, computed MSD results are converted using equation (2) [19].
Then, the cutting parameters are analysed based on the S/N. There are
three different signal-to-noise ratios and individual desirability func-
tions: larger is better, nominal is best, and smaller is better. S/N ratio
indications can be selected depending on the aim of the experiments.
The objective of this investigation is to minimize the surface rough-
ness value. Therefore, the-smaller-the-better has been chosen to calcu-
late the S/N ratios using the following formulae:

where y is the measured value of surface roughness and n is the num-
ber of experiments in the experiments. A higher value of S/N means
the signal is much higher than the random effects of noise factors.
Higher values of S/N ratios are described as control factor settings
that minimized the effects of the noise factor; therefore, a high signal-
to-noise ratio is always preferred.
The 3D response surface plots that obtained response surface meth-
od by RSM model in Minitab 16 software were utilized to specify the
relationship between the WEDM parameters and surface roughness as
shown in Fig. 3. Response surface method is a statistical method and
used to determine the relation between various independent parame-
ters and dependent parameters. Figure 3 indicates the influence of
spark gap voltage, peak current, and wire tension on the mean quality
of machined surface roughness during wire-EDM of MMC. The ma-
chined surface quality was decreased with an increase in the peak cur-
rent and the best surface roughness was observed at lowest peak cur-
rent and wire tension. This was attributed to low cutting speed at low-
est peak current. This is caused by increase of peak current that lead to
a higher cutting speed and resulted the decreasing surface quality.
Normally, increasing wire tension produces an improved surface quali-
ty of machined part due to reducing wire vibration and deflection [20].
On the contrary, surface quality was decreased with increase in wire
tension in this study. This may be attributed to increasing forces act-
ing on the wire electrode and wire breakage with increase in wire ten-
sion. It was also observed that the brass wire electrode was broken at
1246 Ş. KARABULUT, U. GÖKMEN, H. KARAKOÇ et al.
higher wire tension. This can be ascribed that the harder B4C particles
caused fast wear of brass wire at higher peak current and wire tension
depends on increasing cutting temperature.
One of the most significant aims of this experimental study is to de-
termine an acceptable surface roughness using optimal machining pa-
rameters. The signal-to-noise ratios and response surface optimization
methods were performed in order to specify the best cutting parame-
ters in the WEDM of MMCs. The WEDM parameters, calculated aver-
age test results, desirability values, and the S/N ratios for surface
roughness are listed in Table 4. The optimal wire-EDM parameters and
their levels were determined based on the S/N ratios (Table 4). The
higher S/N ratios and composite desirability values indicate the opti-
mum machining parameters and better quality of surface roughness.
The best WEDM factors based on the response Table 5 for S/N in the
machining of Al6061/B4C, the optimal surface roughness values were
defined as factor A (Level 1, S/N 10.579), factor B (Level 2,
S/N 3.485), and factor C (Level 3, S/N 3.077). In the WEDM of
Al6061/B4C, the best machining parameters are determined as a peak
current of 8 A, spark gap voltage of 68.89 V and wire tension of 10; the
optimized surface roughness value is Ra 2.8849 m and the desirabil-
ity value is 0.97336 as shown in Fig. 4.

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and main effect plots were per-
formed to investigate the influences parameters on surface roughness
and contribution rate of wire-EDM parameters on the quality of ma-
chined surface. The statistical significance levels were analysed by the
machining parameters P and F values at the 95% confidence level. If
the P values are smaller than 0.05, the experimental models are con-
sidered at a significant level of 95%. The WEDM parameters, P val-
ues, and their contribution level for surface roughness are presented in
Table 6. From the result of ANOVA, the peak current is the most effec-
tive machining parameters with an 84.9% contribution of total varia-
tion on surface roughness in the WEDM of Al6061/B4C. The next ef-
fective WEDM parameter is wire tension with a percentage contribu-
tion of 8.33% for Al6061/B4C. It was observed that the spark gap volt-
age was not showed a meaningful effect on surface roughness in the
WEDM of MMCs.
As shown in mean effect plots in Figure 5, the effect of spark gap
voltage on surface roughness was almost constant. It can be seen from
the mean effect plots that surface quality was decreased with increas-
ing peak current from 8 A to 13 A and wire tension from 10 g to 13 g.
At the base of the RSM and Taguchi methods, a regression analysis
equation for surface roughness was also developed. The following re-

4. CONCLUSIONS
In this experimental study, Aluminium 6061/B4C metal matrix com-
posite was successfully produced by a powder metallurgy method and
investigated for the effect of wire-EDM parameters on surface rough-
ness using brass wire electrode. The WEDM experiments were per-
formed based on the Taguchi L18 orthogonal array. The investigation
results were examined using 3D surface plots, S/N ratio results,
ANOVA, and main effect graphs. The signal-to-noise ratios, central
composite desirability of response surface method, and regression
model were used to specify the ideal WEDM parameters for surface
roughness.
The following conclusions can be drawn from the experimental
study.
The optical and SEM micrographs indicated that the B4C particles
distribution is fairly homogenized in all composite specimens and
achieved a good interfacial bonding between matrix and B4C particles.
The machined surface quality was worsening with an increase in the
peak current and the best surface roughness was observed at lowest
peak current and wire tension. Surface quality was decreased with in-
crease in wire tension.
Brass wire electrode was broken at higher wire tension. It can be
suggested a very low wire tension to avoid wire breakage during
WEDM of MMCs with reinforced B4C.
The optimal WEDM parameters are determined as a peak current of
8 A, spark gap voltage of 68.89 V, and wire tension of 10; the opti-
mized surface roughness value is Ra 2.8849 m and the desirability
value is 0.97336.
From the result of ANOVA, the peak current is the most significant
wire-EDM parameters with an 84.9% contribution of total variation
on surface roughness in the WEDM of Al6061/B4C.
The spark gap voltage did not show a meaningful effect on surface
roughness in the WEDM of MMCs.
The estimated values based on the regression model with the least
residual errors are very close to the experimental results and predic-
tion errors are in the acceptable range.
