The selection of optimum machining condition, during electro chemical machining process is of great concern in manufacturing industries these days the increasing quality demands, at higher productivity levels; require the electro chemical machining process to be executed more efficiently. Specifically, the MRR needs to be maximized while controlling the power consumption. In this study mild steel is used as a work piece, tool size is used 1.8×1.8 cm and distilled water is used as a dielectric fluid. For experimentation Taguchi's orthogonal array has been used. The input parameters selected for optimization are voltage, feed rate, electrolyte concentration. Parametric optimization technique is completed using MOORA method and found best parametric combination for both responses.
