Abstract:

This paper presents an optimum method to find the significant parameters affecting Wire Electrical Discharge machining (WEDM) performance using Grey relational analysis. A413 Aluminium Alloy reinforced with 20 microns of Boron Carbide and 75 microns of Fly Ash, hybrid composites was fabricated using stir casting technique. Experiments have been conducted with the process parameters like pulse on time, pulse off time, wire feed, gap voltage and weight percentage reinforcement with three different levels. The influence of each parameter on the responses material removal rate and surface roughness is established using analysis of variances (ANOVA). The optimal machining-parameters setting for minimum surface roughness and maximum material removal rate was obtained by applying Grey relational analysis.
