Abstract

Wire cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a hybrid manufacturing technology which enables machining of all engineering materials. This research article deals with investigation on Optimization of the Process Parameters of the wire cut EDM of Bronze material of dimension (80*80*40) in mm. Material removal rate, Surface roughness and Kerf width were studied against the process parameters such as Pulse on time(TON), Pulse off time (TOFF) and Current(IP). The machining parameters for wire EDM were optimized for achieving the combined objectives. As there are three input parameters 27 experiments is carried out and full factorial is used. Optimized parameters were found using (ANOVA) and the error percentage can be validated and parameter contribution for the Material removal rate (MRR) and Surface roughness were found.
