Abstract

The core goal of this research paper is to evaluate process parameters of wire electrical discharging machining and to find out the best parameter among the multiple responses given by machine. Wire cut machine is very accurate and precise machine which is actually manufactured to cut those material which have high strength, toughness, and hardness. This machine works on melting property; here spark is generated between the work piece and the cutting wire which creates high temperature to perform cutting operation. Material removal rate (MRR) and machining time (MT) are to be found for the machining of En45A alloy steel material or En45A silicone manganese spring steel.
