Abstract: In die sinking electric discharge machining manufacturing conditions are most important aspects to be considered as these conditions are very important to determine output parameters. Aluminium silicon carbide that are widely used automotive, defence and automotive industries possess a very mechanical and physical properties is used in this study to find the temperature distribution on its surface by using current , discharge voltage and pulse on time as input process parameters. A number of combinations were prepared with the help of Taguchi L9 Orthogonal Array and analysis is done using minitab 18 software
