Summary:The advanced materials such as Titanium alloys have been used in aerospace, spacecraft and missile applications, due to their high tensile strength and ability to withstand high temperatures. In the present investigation, wire electrical discharge machining process (WEDM) has been used for machining of Lead induced Ti-6Al-4V. The experiments were conducted based on Taguchi L27 orthogonal array. The input factors namely current (Ip), pulse-on-time (Ton), servo voltage (SV) and pulse-off-time (Toff) were used and varied in order to observe cutting speed (CS), surface roughness (Ra), dimensional deviation (DD), recast layer thickness (RLT), micro hardness (MH) and surface integrity characteristics of machined component. Finally, the surface topography of alloys has been examined on the optimum conditions of performance characteristics WEDM samples.
