“…With the rapidly growing use of WEDM process for machining newer and advanced engineering materials, an ardent need is thus acknowledged for development and deployment of an innovative approach for studying the impacts of varied process parameters on the responses and identifying the parametric mix leading to optimization of WEDM process. From the review of the contemporary literature (Kumar et al, 2013;Lal et al, 2015;Dabade and Karidkar et al, 2016;Lusi et al, 2016;Manjaiah et al, 2016;Arikatla et al, 2017;Ramanan and Elangovan, 2018;Devarajaiah and Muthumari, 2018;Vignesh and Ramanujam, 2018;Srinivasarao and Suneel, 2018;Nayak et al, 2018), it has been revealed that determination of the optimal parametric mixes for WEDM processes has already caught the attention of the past researchers, and numerous multi-objective optimization techniques, like grey-Taguchi method, desirability function approach, technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), evolutionary algorithms etc. have been applied.…”
