Abstract-
Electrochemical machining (ECM) has inaugurated itself as one of the major other possible way to conventional methods for machining hard materials and complicated outlines not having the residual stresses and tool wear. Electrochemical machining has vast application in automotive, Aircrafts, petroleum, aerospace, textile, medical and electronic industries. Studies on Material removal rate (MRR) are of extremely important in ECM, since it is one of the factors to be determined in the process decisions. So the aim of present work is to investigate the metal removal rate, overcut and surface roughness of mild steel of diameter 50 mm as work piece by using copper electrode and brine solution as electrolyte by using Taguchi L9 orthogonal …show more content…

The case of OC, it is “ lower is better”, so from this table it is clearly definite that feed rate is the most important factor then V and concentration of solution
5.4. INFLUENCE ON SURFACE ROUGHNESS The effect of control factors voltage, tool feed rate and concentration on surface roughness are shown in Fig 5.7. And surface plots Fig 5.8 to 5.9.
Surface roughness value increases slightly with increase in voltage value from 5V to 8V and then decreases with increase in value of voltage value from 8V to11V. Surface roughness value increases with increase in feed rate from 0.2mm/min to 0.4mm/min and then decreases with increase in value of feed rate from 0.4-0.6mm/min. In case of concentration surface roughness decreases with increase in value of concentration from 20-30 g/l and then increases with increase in concentration from 30- 40 g/l.so most effective factor looks to be tool feed rate and then concentration.
The analysis of variances for the factors is shown in Table 5.5 which is clearly indicates that the on one factor is not important for influencing MRR and V and
