Analysis of Process Parameters in Wire EDM on D2 Tool Steel using Taguchi Method

This paper focuses on the effect of input parameters like pulse on time, pulse off time, servo voltage, and kerf width on the output characteristics of CNC wire EDM process such as material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (SR), and kerf width (KW). The optimum process parameters and corresponding output responses are found out using Taguchi Method. In this research, High carbon high chromium D2 tool steel is used as the work piece with 0.25mm brass wire as tool.
