Abstract
Proper selection of manufacturing conditions is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration in the majority of manufacturing processes and, particularly, in processes related to Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). These are the conditions that determine important characteristics such as material removal rate, Electrode Wear. In the present work experiments are conducted on EDM using Al6061+SiC (with 3%,6%,9% composition of SiC in Al 6061 Alloy ),Copper and Brass materials as electrodes and EN8 steel as work material. Discharge current (IP), pulse on time (TON), pulse off time (TOFF) are selected as inout process parameters, Metal Removal Rate (MR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) as response. Taguchi design of experiment is used to find the influence of process parameters on response and a mathematical model is developed. Percentage contribution of each factor is determined.
