Because of its excellent mechanical qualities and weldability, titanium alloy is used in many different biomedical applications. Wire electrical discharge machining may be used to machine materials with such greater strengths and intricate forms. Using Taguchi-Data Envelopment Analysis-based Ranking (DEAR) approach and zinc-diffused coated brass wire electrode to improve Titanium alloy machining was the goal of this research project. The quality metrics that were taken into consideration were sur-face roughness, kerf width, and material removal rate. Among the selected factors, with an error of 2.7%, the optimal configuration of input factors was determined to be 130 µs (Ton), 40 µs (Toff), 50 V (SV), 6 A (IP), and 8 Kg (WT). Due to its relevance in the process of deionization, the Ton is the high-est influential parameter for creating quality measurements.
