Mechanical Engineering, BIET, Jhansi-284128, India
ABSTRACT
Wire Electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a non-traditional manufacturing technique that has been widely used in generation of contour profiles, manufacturing of automotive, aerospace and surgical components. The most important performance measure in WEDM is the MRR and surface roughness. In this study, the experimental studies were conducted under varying pulse-on-time (TON), pulse-off-time (TOFF), peak current (IP) and wire feed (WF). Experimentation has been done by using Factorial method under different condition of parameters. To validate the study, confirmation experiment has been carried out at optimum set of parameters and predicted results have been found to be in good agreement with experimental findings.
