Abstract

The parameters influence the metal removal rate of any process. The selection of parameters plays a vital role in the process. Therefore, the selection of optimum parameters for electrochemical machining (ECM) is illustrated in this paper. The optimization problem is formulated with the maximization of the material removal rate (MRR) and optimum parameters i.e. electrolyte concentration (C), flow rate (Q), applied voltage (V), and feed rate (f) are considered as design variables. The formulated optimization problem is solved using Genetic Algorithm (GA). GA algorithm is coded in MATLAB.  Optimum parameters are applied to obtain maximum MRR for ECM process.

Keywords

MRR, Flow rate (Q), Design variables, ECM, GA
