چکیده
This paper describes an optimum cutting parameters for Titanium Grade5 (Ti-6Al-4V) using Wire-cut Electrical Machining Process (WEDM). The response of Volume Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface Roughness (Ra) are considered for improving the machining efficiency. A brass wire of 0.25mm diameter was applied as tool electrode to cut the specimen. The Experimentation has been done by using Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal array (OA) under different conditions like pulse on, pulse off, peak current, wire tension, servo voltage and servo feed settings. Regression equation is developed for the VMRR and Ra. The optimum parameters are obtained by using Taguchi method. This study shows that the stated problem is solved by minimum number of experiments when compared to full factorial design.
