Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is an unconventional machining process which is most successful and extensively recognized process for machining very hard materials, intricate profiles and small holes with high accuracy. Only electrically conductive materials can be machined by this process. In the present work, Aluminium alloy (6082) is machined using an Electrolytic Copper electrode on Spark Erosion Machine- SN35. The objective of the work is to experimentally study the influence of process parameters such as Current (I), Voltage (V), Pulse ON Time (TON), Pulse OFF Time (TOFF) and magnetic field on Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) and Surface Roughness (Ra). The process parameters are optimized for maximum Material Removal Rate, minimum Tool Wear Rate and Surface Roughness based on experimental results by using Taguchi and ANOVA Method. The experimental response data of electric discharge machining process is analyzed and the optimal combinations of influential parameters are determined, and we got the optimal value of material removal rate 89.732, tool wear rate 0.0012 and surface roughness 11.127 respectively.
