Influence of electrical parameters and optimization of EDM performance measures on Ti-6A1-4V using DOE/TAGUCHI method

Advanced materials such as Titanium Alloys exhibit very excellent technical properties, however have only achieved partial acceptance in industrial application due to difficulties in machining. Advanced machining process such as Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a potential process to ma...
