Wire cut EDM (WEDM) is a Non conventional manufacturing process in which material is removed bylocalized heating and melting. It is discrete spark generation method applicable for hard and difficult to machinematerials.The accuracy and ease for complex contour leads the process very favourite in die application. In this paperKerf width analysis for EN19 material is carried out using Taguchi design of experiment method. Experiments arecarried out using L27 Orthogonal array by varying Material Thickness, pulse on time, Pulse Off time, Flushing Pressure,Wire Tension and Servo voltage. ANOVA carried out for identifies significant parameters for kerf width. Kerf widthaffected by machining parameters, which is important for machining accuracy and other output response viz MRR andSurface roughness. Analysis help to identify significant parameters for kerf. A set of optimum parameters and rank orderidentified using ANOVA.
