Abstract


Machining is a material removal process for manufacturing components of desired shapes. Wire Electric discharge machining is a material removal process for producing components with complicated geometry. This work is done on Aluminium 6061 in Wire EDM. The purpose of the work is to find out optimum parameter combination to obtain better micro hardness. Input machining parameters considered are current, pulse ON, pulse OFF, feed rate and wire tension. The optimization technique followed is Taguchi method. Optimum parameter combination is obtained using ANOVA.
