Abstract

Machining of hard metals and alloys using Conventional machining involves increased demand of time, energy and cost. It causes tool wear resulting in loss of quality of the product. Non-conventional machining, on the other hand produces product with minimum time and at desired level of accuracy. In the present study, EN19 steel was machined using CNC Wire Electrical discharge machining with pre-defined process parameters. Material Removal Rate and Surface roughness were considered as responses for this study. The present optimization problem is single and as well as multi-response. Considering the complexities of this present problem, experimental data were generated and the results were analyzed by using Taguchi, Grey Relational Analysis and Weighted Principal Component Analysis under soft computing approach. Responses variances with the variation of process parameters were thoroughly studied and analyzed; also ‘best optimal values' were identified. The result shows an improvement in responses from mean to optimal values of process parameters.
