ABSTRACT : 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.
KEYWORDS: Optimization of Process parameters, Titanium alloy, Taguchi method, WEDM.
I. INTRODUCTION
Wire cut EDM has been widely adopted as a machining tool for die materials which require high strength and
hardness as well as good wear resistance, while the traditional manufacturing process needs a special tool or technique with a
longer process time. In WEDM, a continuously moving conductive wire acts as an electrode and material is eroded from the
work piece by series of discrete sparks between the work piece and wire electrode separated by a thin film of dielectric fluid.
The dielectric is continuously fed to the spark zone to flush away the eroded material and it acts as a coolant. The schematic
representation of the WEDM is as shown in Figure-1.

Rajurkar K.P, et al, [1] used a factorial design method, to determine the optimal combination of control parameters
in WEDM considering the measures of machining performance as metal removal rate and the surface finish. The study
concluded that control factors are discharge current, the pulse duration and the pulse frequency. Y. S. Tarng, et al, [2] used a
neural network model to estimate to the effects of parameters on the surface roughness as the response variable and
machining speed. J. Prohaszka [3] in their paper they have discussed about effect of electrode material on machinability in
wire electro-discharge machining that will lead to the improvement of WEDM performance. Experiments have been
conducted regarding the choice of suitable wire electrode materials and the influence of the properties of these materials on
the machinability in WEDM, the experimental results are presented and discussed. Y.S Liao et al.[4] derived an approach to
determine machining parameter settings for WEDM process. Based on the taguchi quality design and the analysis of
variance (ANOVA), the significant factors affecting the machining performance such as MRR, gap width ,surface roughness
,sparking frequency ,average gap voltage, normal ratio(ratio of normal sparks to total sparks) are determined. By means of
regression analysis, mathematical models relating the machining performance and various machining parameters are
established. Jose Maranon et.al [5] has investigated a new method of optimizing MRR using EDM with copper-tungsten
electrodes. This paper describes an investigation into the optimization of the process which uses the effect of carbon which
has migrated from the dielectric to tungsten copper electrodes.
Mustafa Ilhan et.al [6] have presented in their paper to select the most suitable cutting and offset parameter
combination for the electrical discharge machining process in order to get the desired surface roughness value for the
machined surface. A series of experiments have been conducted on 1040 steel material of thickness 30, 60 and 80 mm, and
on 2379 and 2738 steel materials of thicknesses 30 and 60mm. S.H. Lee et al. [7] have studied the effect of machining
parameters in EDM of tungsten carbide on the machining characteristics. The characteristics of EDM refer essentially to the
output machining parameters such as material removal rate (MRR), relative wear ratio (RWR) and surface roughness (Ra).
C. L. Lin, et al, [8] have described, the grey relational analysis based on an orthogonal array and fuzzy-based Taguchi
method is applied for optimizing the multi-response process. They have used both the grey relational analysis method

without using the S/N (Signal/Noise) ratio and fuzzy logic analysis in orthogonal array Table in carrying out experiments for
solving the multiple responses in the electrical discharge machining process. J. L. Lin et.al [9] has studied the optimization
of multiple performance characteristics of WEDM using orthogonal array. In their paper, a new approach for optimization of
the EDM with multiple performance characteristics based on the orthogonal array with grey relational analysis has been
studied. The performance characteristics studied are MRR, surface roughness, and electrode wear ratio.
N. Tosun et.al [10] have investigated theoretically and experimentally about the effect of the cutting parameters on
size on erosion craters of wire electrode in WEDM. The level of importance of the machining parameters on the wire crater
size has been determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). K.H. Ho, et. al, [11] in their paper have discussed about
wire EDM research involving the optimization of the process parameters surveying the influence of the various factors
affecting the machining performance and productivity. The paper also highlights the adaptive monitoring and control of the
process investigating the feasibility of the different control strategies of obtaining the optimal machining conditions. Scott F.
Miller et al, [12] in their paper have discussed about wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) of cross-section with
minimum thickness and compliant mechanisms is studied. This was supported by findings from SEM micrographs of EDM
surface, subsurface, and debris. R.Ramakrishnan et.al [13] in their paper have applied the Taguchi’s method, which is one of
the methods of robust design of experiments to optimize multi responses of the wire cut electric discharge machining
operations. Experimentation is carried out using Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array method. By applying the Taguchi’s method,
a good improvement was obtained. Swarup S. Mahapatra et.al [14] have described in their paper about Parametric
Optimization of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) Process using Taguchi Method. The responses measured are
Surface finish (Ra) and MRR. They have used Taguchi technique for the optimization of process parameters. Orthogonal
array used is L27. They have proposed some optimized parameter values for machining the work piece.
The cutting of Tungsten Carbide ceramic using electro-discharge machining (EDM) with a graphite electrode by
using Taguchi methodology has been reported by Mohd Amri Lajis et al [15]. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the
experimental layout, to analyze the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics, and to predict the optimal
choice for each EDM parameter such as peak current, voltage, pulse duration and interval time. It is found that these
parameters have a significant influence on machining characteristic such as metal removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate
(EWR) and surface roughness (SR). The analysis of the Taguchi method reveals that, in general the peak current
significantly affects the EWR and SR, while, the pulse duration mainly affects the MRR. C. Bhaskar Reddy et.al, [16] have
investigated for best parameter selection to obtain maximum Metal removal rate (MRR) and better surface roughness (Ra)
by conducting the experimentation on CONCORD DK7720C four axes CNC Wire Electrical Discharge Machining of P20
die tool steel with molybdenum wire of 0.18mm diameter as electrode.
From the literature several researchers have been applied the Taguchi method is used to optimize the performance
parameters in WEDM process. In the Present work Titanium alloy is considered for measuring the output parameters like
material removal rate, surface rough using Taguchi method.
II. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
Proper experimental design significantly contributes towards the accurate characterization and optimization of the
process. Here, the criterion for experimental design and analysis is to achieve higher VRR along with reduction in Surface
Roughness. An orthogonal array for six controllable parameters is used to construct the matrix of five levels of controllable
factors. The L25 orthogonal array contains 25 experimental runs at various combinations of six input variables. In the
present study Table-1 represents various levels of process parameters and Table-2 represents experimental plan with

VI. SELECTION OF OPTIMAL PARAMETER COMBINATION
The Experimental results shows the effect of six process parameters on material removal rate and surface
roughness.Fig-4 shows the effect of Volume Material Removal Rate for the pulse on, pulse off, peak Current and Servo
Voltage. From this Fig, it was observed that the VMRR increased when the pulse on time was increased due to number of
discharges within a given period of time increase. In Fig.6, it shows that with an increase of pulse on time the surface quality
of the machined surfaces were decreased because under longer pulse time on the electrical sparks generate bigger craters on
the surface of work piece. Fig.3 and 5 shows the graphs for the S/N ratios.

VII. CONCLUSION
In this research, three different analyses are employed to obtain the following goals. Evaluating the effects on machining
parameters on volume material removal rate, evaluating the effects on machining parameters on surface roughness and
presenting the optimal machining conditions. Taguchi Analysis determines the factors which have significant impact on
volume material removal rate. Equations which correlate machining parameters with material removal rate is found by
regression analysis, and the optimal setting is found by S/N ratio analysis. Further research might attempt to consider the
other performance criteria, such kerf, surface waviness, dimensional error as output parameters. This technique can also be
applied for the various conventional machining operations and for machining of advanced materials like composites to
improve the performance characteristics simultaneously. The present work was carried out by Taguchi analysis; further this
work can be extended by considering any combination of fuzzy control, Grey relational analysis with Taguchi’s orthogonal
array technique, response surface methodology techniques.

  • 1. International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol. 3, Issue. 4, Jul. - Aug. 2013 pp-2281-2286 ISSN: 2249-6645 www.ijmer.com 2281 | Page Lokeswara Rao T.1 , N. Selvaraj2 1 Ph. D Research Scholar, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, India 2 Professor, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, India ABSTRACT : 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. KEYWORDS: Optimization of Process parameters, Titanium alloy, Taguchi method, WEDM. I. INTRODUCTION Wire cut EDM has been widely adopted as a machining tool for die materials which require high strength and hardness as well as good wear resistance, while the traditional manufacturing process needs a special tool or technique with a longer process time. In WEDM, a continuously moving conductive wire acts as an electrode and material is eroded from the work piece by series of discrete sparks between the work piece and wire electrode separated by a thin film of dielectric fluid. The dielectric is continuously fed to the spark zone to flush away the eroded material and it acts as a coolant. The schematic representation of the WEDM is as shown in Figure-1. Fig.1: Schematic Representation of WEDM Rajurkar K.P, et al, [1] used a factorial design method, to determine the optimal combination of control parameters in WEDM considering the measures of machining performance as metal removal rate and the surface finish. The study concluded that control factors are discharge current, the pulse duration and the pulse frequency. Y. S. Tarng, et al, [2] used a neural network model to estimate to the effects of parameters on the surface roughness as the response variable and machining speed. J. Prohaszka [3] in their paper they have discussed about effect of electrode material on machinability in wire electro-discharge machining that will lead to the improvement of WEDM performance. Experiments have been conducted regarding the choice of suitable wire electrode materials and the influence of the properties of these materials on the machinability in WEDM, the experimental results are presented and discussed. Y.S Liao et al.[4] derived an approach to determine machining parameter settings for WEDM process. Based on the taguchi quality design and the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the significant factors affecting the machining performance such as MRR, gap width ,surface roughness ,sparking frequency ,average gap voltage, normal ratio(ratio of normal sparks to total sparks) are determined. By means of regression analysis, mathematical models relating the machining performance and various machining parameters are established. Jose Maranon et.al [5] has investigated a new method of optimizing MRR using EDM with copper-tungsten electrodes. This paper describes an investigation into the optimization of the process which uses the effect of carbon which has migrated from the dielectric to tungsten copper electrodes. Mustafa Ilhan et.al [6] have presented in their paper to select the most suitable cutting and offset parameter combination for the electrical discharge machining process in order to get the desired surface roughness value for the machined surface. A series of experiments have been conducted on 1040 steel material of thickness 30, 60 and 80 mm, and on 2379 and 2738 steel materials of thicknesses 30 and 60mm. S.H. Lee et al. [7] have studied the effect of machining parameters in EDM of tungsten carbide on the machining characteristics. The characteristics of EDM refer essentially to the output machining parameters such as material removal rate (MRR), relative wear ratio (RWR) and surface roughness (Ra). C. L. Lin, et al, [8] have described, the grey relational analysis based on an orthogonal array and fuzzy-based Taguchi method is applied for optimizing the multi-response process. They have used both the grey relational analysis method Optimization of WEDM Process Parameters on Titanium Alloy Using Taguchi Method

J. L. Lin et.al [9] has studied the optimization of multiple performance characteristics of WEDM using orthogonal array. In their paper, a new approach for optimization of the EDM with multiple performance characteristics based on the orthogonal array with grey relational analysis has been studied. The performance characteristics studied are MRR, surface roughness, and electrode wear ratio. N. Tosun et.al [10] have investigated theoretically and experimentally about the effect of the cutting parameters on size on erosion craters of wire electrode in WEDM. The level of importance of the machining parameters on the wire crater size has been determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). K.H. Ho, et. al, [11] in their paper have discussed about wire EDM research involving the optimization of the process parameters surveying the influence of the various factors affecting the machining performance and productivity. The paper also highlights the adaptive monitoring and control of the process investigating the feasibility of the different control strategies of obtaining the optimal machining conditions. Scott F. Miller et al, [12] in their paper have discussed about wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) of cross-section with minimum thickness and compliant mechanisms is studied. This was supported by findings from SEM micrographs of EDM surface, subsurface, and debris. R.Ramakrishnan et.al [13] in their paper have applied the Taguchi’s method, which is one of the methods of robust design of experiments to optimize multi responses of the wire cut electric discharge machining operations. Experimentation is carried out using Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array method. By applying the Taguchi’s method, a good improvement was obtained. Swarup S. Mahapatra et.al [14] have described in their paper about Parametric Optimization of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) Process using Taguchi Method. The responses measured are Surface finish (Ra) and MRR. They have used Taguchi technique for the optimization of process parameters. Orthogonal array used is L27. They have proposed some optimized parameter values for machining the work piece. The cutting of Tungsten Carbide ceramic using electro-discharge machining (EDM) with a graphite electrode by using Taguchi methodology has been reported by Mohd Amri Lajis et al [15]. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout, to analyze the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics, and to predict the optimal choice for each EDM parameter such as peak current, voltage, pulse duration and interval time. It is found that these parameters have a significant influence on machining characteristic such as metal removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR) and surface roughness (SR). The analysis of the Taguchi method reveals that, in general the peak current significantly affects the EWR and SR, while, the pulse duration mainly affects the MRR. C. Bhaskar Reddy et.al, [16] have investigated for best parameter selection to obtain maximum Metal removal rate (MRR) and better surface roughness (Ra) by conducting the experimentation on CONCORD DK7720C four axes CNC Wire Electrical Discharge Machining of P20 die tool steel with molybdenum wire of 0.18mm diameter as electrode. From the literature several researchers have been applied the Taguchi method is used to optimize the performance parameters in WEDM process. In the Present work Titanium alloy is considered for measuring the output parameters like material removal rate, surface rough using Taguchi method. II. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Proper experimental design significantly contributes towards the accurate characterization and optimization of the process. Here, the criterion for experimental design and analysis is to achieve higher VRR along with reduction in Surface Roughness. An orthogonal array for six controllable parameters is used to construct the matrix of five levels of controllable factors. The L25 orthogonal array contains 25 experimental runs at various combinations of six input variables.

SELECTION OF OPTIMAL PARAMETER COMBINATION The Experimental results shows the effect of six process parameters on material removal rate and surface roughness.Fig-4 shows the effect of Volume Material Removal Rate for the pulse on, pulse off, peak Current and Servo Voltage. From this Fig, it was observed that the VMRR increased when the pulse on time was increased due to number of discharges within a given period of time increase. In Fig.6, it shows that with an increase of pulse on time the surface quality of the machined surfaces were decreased because under longer pulse time on the electrical sparks generate bigger craters on the surface of work piece.

CONCLUSION In this research, three different analyses are employed to obtain the following goals. Evaluating the effects on machining parameters on volume material removal rate, evaluating the effects on machining parameters on surface roughness and presenting the optimal machining conditions. Taguchi Analysis determines the factors which have significant impact on volume material removal rate. Equations which correlate machining parameters with material removal rate is found by regression analysis, and the optimal setting is found by S/N ratio analysis. Further research might attempt to consider the other performance criteria, such kerf, surface waviness, dimensional error as output parameters. This technique can also be applied for the various conventional machining operations and for machining of advanced materials like composites to improve the performance characteristics simultaneously. The present work was carried out by Taguchi analysis; further this work can be extended by considering any combination of fuzzy control, Grey relational analysis with Taguchi’s orthogonal array technique, response surface methodology techniques.
