Abstract

The Electrochemical Discharge Machining (ECDM) is a hybrid machining technology which combined with electro discharge machining and electro chemical machining process. In this research, electrochemical discharge drilling operation is carried out on conventional ceramic tile by using a designed and manufactured ECDM setup. The experiments were performed as per design of experimental technique of Taguchi L27 orthogonal array using MINITAB 17 software. The important process parameters that have been selected are voltage, rotation and electrolyte concentration with output response as machining depth and diametric cut. From the observations, it is found that the voltage is the most significant parameter for machining depth and diametric cut followed by electrolyte concentration and rotation.
