Photochemical machining (PCM)  used to machine  metal parts employing a photoresist and etchants. It is critical non-conventional machining process.Non-conventional machining forms are broadly used within the fabricate of geometrically challenging machining components from designing fabric which are not imagable machining process.The focus of this work is parametric optimization for steel photochemical machining (PCM). Etching temperature and etching time were used as control parameters..PCM was performed with ferreous chloride as the etchant.Surface roughness and edge nonconformity were reduced, however etching depth was desired at a greater extent.The objective of the investigation is to see how control factors affect reaction parameters., viz surface roughness, etching depth, and parameter optimization with different weight rates for each performance measured.Tofulfilling this OEC is utilized by allotting diverse weight rate to reaction parameters.
