Abstract

In this paper experimentation is performed on AISI D3 tool steel using graphite electrode of 10 mm diameter. The process parameters are taken on the basis of Taguchi method. The objective of the paper is to optimize the process parameters of machining in high, medium and low wear factors through duty cycle.
