Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Process Parameter Optimization via the Taguchi Method
摘要
The process of wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) is a contemporary machining procedure that necessitates the fine-tuning of its machining parameters to attain optimal efficiency and production rate. The metal removal rate (MRR) plays a decisive role in defining the effectiveness of the machining process. This study seeks to analyse the effects of all three specifications for the procedure—pulse off time, peak current, and pulse—on the rate of material removal (MRR) of WEDM. For the experiment on aluminium alloy 6061, we utilised the Taguchi L9 design (DOE). To investigate the MRR of WEDM, this study was conducted using an using an orthogonal array, a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, and an analysis of variance (ANOVA). Analysing outcomes demonstrated that the maximum flow had a significant impact on how quickly material was removed. The study further examined the effects of various machining settings on a reaction similar to the MRR.
