This study deals with the machining characteristics of wire-cut EDM process in aluminium alloy 8011, the equipment used for machining is EZEECUT PLUS Wire cut EDM. Brass wires are used as electrode in the combination of two non ferrous metals, alloyed in between the range 63%–65% copper and 35%–37% zinc. The dielectric for experiments was De-ionized water.
