This paper presents an effective approach for the optimization of the wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) process of Al2O3 particle-reinforced material (6061 alloy) with multiple performance characteristics based on the grey relational analysis. The machining information for the difficult-cutting particle-reinforced material is inadequate and complicated. The response table and response graph for each level of the machining parameters are obtained form the grey relational grade, and select the optimal levels of machining parameters. In this study, the machining parameters namely the cutting radius of working piece, the on time of discharging, the off time of discharging, the arc on time of discharging, the arc off time of discharging, the servo voltage, the wire feed and water flow are optimized with considerations of multiple performance characteristics, such as the surface removal rate and the maximum surface roughness. It is clearly shown that the above performance characteristics in the WEDM process are great improved together through this approach.
