Abstract
In this study, input parameters of Electrical Discharge machining (EDM) process have been optimised for two different materials EN-8 and Die steel-D3 were machined by using sintered copper electrode. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to study the influences of process parameters viz: - peak current, pulse on time, di-electric pressure and diameter of electrode on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR) for both materials. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to optimise the multi responses in order to get maximum MRR, minimum TWR and minimum SR. Furthermore, mathematical model has been formulated to estimate the corresponding output responses for both work pieces. It has been observed that compared to EN 8 material, the MRR value is low and TWR is high for D3 material. However the SR value is marginally lower than obtained in EN8.R2 value is above 0.90 for both work pieces.
