Machining of Ti-6Al-4V biomedical alloy by WEDM: investigation and optimization of MRR and Rz using grey-harmony search
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimized setting of wire-cut
electrical discharge machining (WEDM) parameters at which material removal rate (MRR)
and mean roughness depth (Rz) set a compromise. The problem in the processing of Ti-6Al-
4V by conventional processes is a high strength, high hardness, high tool wear. Due to
which WEDM is adopted to machine Ti-6Al-4V biomedical alloy. Ti-6Al-4V alloy has a
number of applications in the engineering and medical industries due to its high strength …
