Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the advanced methods of machining. EDM is best option for extremely difficult hard materials and complicated geometry materials which are very difficult to machine. The main aim of this work is to develop electrode for natural leaf shape of microchannel heat sink to reduce fabrication time and investigated the single response parameter optimization on EDM machine for microchannel heat sink of Aluminium 6061 .The performance of microchannel is depend upon parameters of machining is selected during fabrication. The optimal set of process parameters such as current, pulse ON and OFF time in Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process were used to study the response of single parameter such as rate of material removal and surface roughness value on the Aluminium 6061 work piece material. The methodology based on orthogonal array Taguchi’s analysis of variance (ANOVA) and signals to noise ratio (S/N Ratio) were employed to optimize the performance characteristics like material removal rate and surface roughness of Aluminium 6061.
