This paper develops a multi-objective optimization model for electrical discharge machining (EDM) to improve cutting performance. It creates a multiple regression model using grey relational analysis to determine optimal machining parameters like voltage, current, pulse time and gap based on objectives of material removal rate, electrode wear rate and surface roughness. The model maps relationships between parameters and objectives, predicts results that are then compared to experiments to optimize parameters through analysis of variance.

This paper investigates optimization design of an electrical discharge
machining process for improving the cutting performance. A suitable selection of machining parameters for the EDM process relies heavily on the operator’s technologies and experience because of their numerous and diverse range. To solve this task, multiple regression model is developed as an efficient approach to determine the optimal machining parameters in EDM using grey relational analysis. In this paper, voltage, peak current, pulse-on time and gap current are considered as machining parameters and the major performance characteristics selected to evaluate the process are material removal rate, electrode wear rate and surface roughness. By applying grey relational analysis, multiple regression model have been developed to map the relationship between process parameters and objectives in terms of grade. The predicted grade is found and then the percentage deviation between the experimental grade and predicted grade is calculated. The average percentage deviations for the data of the linear regression model and logarithmic transformation model, excluding interaction terms are found and examined. Based on the testing results of grey relational analysis, the operating parameters are optimized. Finally, ANOVA is used to identify the significance of multiple regression model.
