Parametric Optimization of Wire Cut Electro Discharge Machine using Taguchi Method on D2 Tool Steel

The main objective of this project is to develop and establish of Cutting procedure by WEDM and investigation of Cutting characteristics of most commonly used D2 Tool Steel Plate. To perform the experiment, an experimental design matrix was constituted using the design of the experiments. For this purpose, in the Taguchi method, L27 Orthogonal Array was chosen as a statistical tool to build an experimental layout and for the Optimization Taguchi Method. Half Hard Zinc Coated wire will be used for Performing the Experiment on WEDM. Three Process parameters Wire Speed, Pulse ON and Pulse OFF and Wire Feed has been Selected for the Experiment and Other Factors Will be considered as Constant. Cutting Characteristic will be evaluated by Two Responses, Cutting Speed and Kerf Width. ANOVA and Regression Analysis will be performed for Analysis and model Verification and Optimization will be performed by Design Expert Software.
