Abstract

Studies are made on the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process performance parameters such as material removal rate, kerf and surface roughness of Incoloy®Alloy800 following the Taguchi’s design of experiments. ANOVA is performed to trace the statistically significance of input parameter (viz. gap voltage, pulse-on-time, pulse-off-time and wire feed) on the WEDM process parameters. A simple multi-objective optimization approach is suggested for specifying a set of optimum input parameters to achieve maximum material removal rate, and minimum surface finish and kerf width.
