Abstract: n the present work, the effect of process parameters on material removal rate during the machining of aluminium alloy (5086) with WEDM is studied. The four control parameter were selected i.e pulse on time (TON), pulse off time (TOFF), peak current (IP), and spark gap voltage (SV) to investigate their effects on material removal rate (MRR). Each control parameter had three levels. Total 27 experiments were done with a zinc coated brass wire of diameter 0.25 mm. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array technique was used for the experiment. ANOVA was used to find out the significance of control parameters and their contribution on MRR. It was found that maximum material removal rate was 41.52 mm3 /min which was due to high pulse on time and low pulse off time. 
Keywords: MRR, Process parameters, Taguchi technique, WEDM.
