Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid optimization approach for the determination of the optimal process parameters which maximize the material removal rate and minimize surface roughness & the tool wear rate. The input parameters of electrical discharge machining considered for this analysis are pulse current (Ip), pulse duration (Ton) & pulse off time (Toff). The influences of these parameters have been optimized by multi response analysis. The designed experimental results are used in the gray relational analysis & the weight of the quality characteristics are determined by the entropy measurement method. The effects of the parameters on the responses were evaluated by response surface methodology, which is based on optimization results. On the basis of optimization results it has been found that pulse current (Ip) of 5A, a pulse duration (Ton) of 60μs & pulse off time (Toff) 45μs, which are the best combination of this analysis.
