The alloy investigated in this research is Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steel (PHSS) 15-5, which provides good corrosion, high strength and hardness. 15-5 Stainless Steel is extensively employed in a variety of applications, including aero plane components, high-pressure corrosive environments that include valves, fasteners, shafts, fittings and gears. In this current exploration, an analysis of the machinability of PHSS is analyzed with textured inserts and the outcomes as compared to conventional inserts. To increase the machinability conditions, two distinct types of textures were produced on the rake face of the tool inserts and employed for this machining procedure utilizing a Wire Electric Discharge Machine (WEDM).The dimensions of the textures were cut on the trial-and-error method. Three different machining parameters with three different levels were chosen. Cutting Speed, feed rate and depth of cut were chosen as the input parameters.
