Abstract:

This paper investigates the relationship of process parameters in wire electrical discharge machining of titanium alloy with brass wire as tool electrode. Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is used to cut conductive metals of any hardness or that difficult to cut with conventional methods. The process performances such as material removal rate (MRR) and surface finish (Ra) were evaluated by giving specific input parameters which practiced to obtain optimal response. The difficulty in machine tool industry is to predict the expected output performance for the desired input variables by the way of conducting more number of experiments for different machining parameters, which leads to the increase in consumption of electric power, material and time. To overcome this phenomenon, parametric investigation was made on WED machining on titanium alloy by using Taguchi’s method.
