Box–Behnken Design: Optimization and Prediction of TI-6AL-7NB

Abstract

Titanium's enhanced mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility have expanded its usage in biomedical applications. Using the response surface approach, the present study optimizes the process parameters during the machining of titanium alloys: Ti-6Al-7Nb utilized in dental implantation by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) (RSM).  WEDM parameters such as servo voltage, pulse-on time, pulse-off time, and wire feed rate were modified to determine their influence on the cut quality of Ti-6Al-7Nb utilizing surface roughness and material removal rate as response parameters.
