Analysis and optimization of Ti (Grade-5) on µ-EDM by using Taguchi Methods

During the last decennium, there has been perpetuating authoritative ordinance of compact, integrated and diminutive size product by a nontraditional process for precise and cost efficacious quantification of material properties. These are needed for machining for implements and product design, the development of micro-size components, the growing desiderata for microfeature generation. Micromanufacturing process has different materials capability and machining performance designation. Machining performance designation of concern includes minimum feature size, tolerance, surface finish and MRR and application of advanced, which is very arduous to machine materials. They have made the micro EDM a paramount manufacturing process to meet these authoritative ordinances. Micro EDM technology has been widely utilized in engenderment, aerospace, aircraft, medical and virtually all areas of conductive material machining. Ti (Grade 5) is ever engendered in manufacturing industries. It is capable to withstand in very high temperature and the excellent resistance in mechanical and chemical debilitate. The Ti (Grade 5) aluminum predicated superalloys are having high vigor thermal conflict with very hard material characteristics it is withal very good corrosion resistance in many conditions of engineering application. Due to very tough in nature and the machinability has been studied by many researchers on these materials and been carried out for the last few years. This objective of this project is to investigate the performance of Micro EDM machining on Ti materials.
