In this research work, aluminum hybrid composites using bamboo leaf ash (BLA) and alumina have been fabricated via stir casting. Three hybrid composites viz: A713 + 2%BLA + 2%Al2O3, A713 + 2%BLA + 4%Al2O3, A713 + 4%BLA + 2%Al2O3 are fabricated successfully and EDM machining of these three composites is performed. The EDM machining experiments of the three hybrid composites, have been designed using Taguchi L27 orthogonal array design of experiments (DOE) considering current (A), duty cycle (%), gap voltage (V) and different percentage composition of the reinforcements. The effect of the EDM machining process parameters on the output responses such as surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR) are evaluated using grey relational analysis.
