Abstract

In this work, optimization problem for AISI D3 material has been solved to satisfy requirements of productivity in EDM operation. Experiments on die sinking EDM have been conducted using L16 orthogonal array design using various process control parameters like discharge current (Ip), pulse on time (Ton), pulse off time (Toff) and spark gap (SG) which are varied in four different levels. Material Removal Rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) has been measured for each experimental run. Problem has been formulated in maximization of MRR (in order to increase productivity) and minimization of Ra. Taguchi method is used for Design of experiment. Optimum values of process parameters are obtained using grey relational analysis method.
