The challenge of modern machining industries is mainly to achieve high quality, in terms of dimensional accuracy, surface finish and high production rate. In the present work, an attempt has been made to explore the effect of EDM process parameters on various Surface Roughness characteristics Ra, Rq and Rz. The experiments have been done on medium carbon steel EN8 which has high applications in tool, oil and gas industries. For the experimentation, Pulse on time (PON), Pulse off time (POFF), Wire tension (WT) and Wire feed rate (WF) were considered as EDM inputs. Similarly, Surface roughness parameters Ra, Rq and Rz were taken as output characteristics. Taguchi’s standard L27 (3 level * 3 parameters) Orthogonal Array was used for conducting the experiments and optimization of multi responses was done by Grey analysis. From the Grey analysis, optimal combination of machining parameters for Surface Roughness characteristics was found at Pulse-on time (PON):131 μs (level 3), Pulse-off time (POFF):58 μs (level 2), Wire tension (WT):2 Kg-f (level 1) and Wire feed rate (WF):4 m/min (level 1). Analysis of variance was used to find the influence of process parameters on responses. From ANOVA of Grey Relational Grade, it is found that wire feed has high influence (F= 59.18) and pulse off time has very low influence (F= 2.50) in effecting the Surface Roughness parameters taken simultaneously. Regression models for the responses were prepared by using MINITAB-16 software. From the residual analysis, it is clear that the models prepared for the responses were more accurate, adequate and they can be used for prediction of surface roughness characteristics. Finally, the experimental and predicted values were compared and they found very close to each other.
