Abstrakt: Polymer Nanocomposites development and research are taking great attention in worldwide research. The reason for intense research on the development of PNCs is to have attractive properties with a wide range of applicability. PNCs are being developed with various combinations of fillers and resins depending upon the usage in different applications. In this article, Alumina Epoxy Nanocomposite (AENC) is considered as work material which is a highly acceptable polymer nanocomposite material due to insulating and acoustic properties. These materials are difficult to shape because of their mixed material properties. Therefore, for effective and stable machining of these materials, Wire Electrochemical Spark Cutting (WECSC) has been found suitable technique with desired outcomes. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of various parameters while machining AENC. The investigating parameters were applied voltage, electrolyte concentration, pulse on-time, wire velocity, and pulse off-time, and the performance measures were taken as material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR). From the experimental observation, applied voltage has been considered the most significant parameter for MRR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
