In this paper, wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) of Titanium alloy (Ti-4.5Al-2V) is studied. In WEDM, the prime objective in cutting operation is to achieve the highest possible cutting speed along with desirable surface finish without sacrificing productivity. It is evident that a high material removal rate and a very good surface finish can never be achieved simultaneously in WEDM. Sel...

The paper describes the multi-objective optimization of hole sinking electrical discharge micromachining (HSEDMM) process considering material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), and hole taper (Ta) as objectives simultaneously.

Machining can be outlined as the process of taking away material from a work piece in the grade of chips. During a machining process, isolated of the energy is turned into heat energy through the detritions yielded between the tool and the work piece and the plastic deformation of the work material in the machining zone. Turning is charmed by several constituents, for example, the cutting speed...
