Abstract
In electrical discharge machining (EDM), the productivity and machined surface quality is directly influenced by the properties of the electrode surface material layer used. In the present study, a research attempt was made to find the optimal technological parameters in EDM process with AlCrNi coated electrode using Taguchi-Data Envelopment Analysis based Ranking (DEAR) based multi-response optimization approach. From the experimental investigation, the optimal technological parameter combination in EDM using AlCrNi coated electrode was found as peak current (40 A), voltage (55 V), and pulse-on-time (1000 μs) on machining Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. The current was found as more principal factor in EDM process with coated tool due to the electrical conductance of the tool coating. The better surface topography with lower surface roughness and micro cracks can be obtained on the machined specimens with proposed parameter combination.
