Abstract

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is utilized to overcome the challenges for producing geometrically complex shape or hard material parts by conventional machining process. In this present study, the input parameters such as discharge current (A), Pulse On-Time (B) and Pulse Off Time (C) are optimized for achieving optimum Material Removal Rate (MRR), reduced surface roughness and Tool Wear Rate (TWR) for LM6-Alumina Stir casted Metal Matrix Composites (MMC). Grey relation analysis is applied to design and optimize the above said multiple performance characteristics. The study revealed that discharge current is the most influential parameter that affects the surface finish and Material removal rate.
