Abstract
AISI 420 stainless steel is a martensitic stainless steel which has good corrosion and magnetic properties. It is used widely in rotors of actuator motors due to its magnetic property. Surface Roughness is one of the prominent factors that need to be optimised in this high precision work. The present work is aimed at characterizing the electric discharge machining of AISI 420 stainless steel. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array was chosen to conduct the experiments by varying EDM parameters like current, pulse on time and pulse off time. The surface roughness and Material removal rate are taken as the output responses. Signal to noise ratio and ANOVA is used to analyze the effect of parameters on surface roughness and also to identify the optimum machining parameters.
