In order to improve the productivity, optimization of the process parameters plays a crucial role. One such process where excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy could be achieved is with wire electric discharge turning (WEDT). The present work focuses on analysis of means (ANOM) of WEDT process parameters. Experiments were planned based on Taguchi L18 orthogonal array. Improvement of response parameters such as surface finish was found to be 43.17% and material removal rate (MRR) of 9.5% has been obtained after performing ANOM studies. The results has been validated by performing confirmation test.
