| Summary: | The use of thin film-coated micro-tool electrode introduced a new technical solution to bring the best technical–economic efficiency in the field of non-conventional machining processes. Multi-objective optimization of process parameters in micro-electrical discharge machining (EDM) is very limited with the help of thin film-coated micro-tool, which brought benefits for the industry. In this research work, the technological parameters such as voltage (V), spindle rotation, and capacitance (C) in micro-EDM using carbon-coated electrode were optimized, and Z-coordinate depth of cut and tool wear rate were selected as response variables. Taguchi is combined with Deng’s method to solve this multi-objective decision problem. The results showed that Taguchi–Deng’s method is the right solution for multi-target decision in micro-EDM using the coated electrode. C is the strongest influence on optimal efficiency, and it is the smallest with V. The machining quality under optimal conditions is improved.
