EDM Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the most extensively used nonconventional, thermo electric metal removal process which encodes material from the work place by a series of discrete spark between a work and a tool electrode immersed in a liquid dielectric medium. Electrical discharge machining is basically a non-conventional material removal process which is widely used to precision tools. This process can be successfully employed to machine electrically conductive parts irrespective of their hardness, shape and toughness.[1-3] [1] Kansal, H.K., Singh, P, Kumar, P., 2007, “Technology and research developments in powder mixed electric discharge machining (PMEDM)”, Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 184, 32–41.

EDM Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the most extensively used nonconventional, thermo electric metal removal process which encodes material from the work place by a series of discrete spark between a work and a tool electrode immersed in a liquid dielectric medium. Electrical discharge machining is basically a non-conventional material removal process which iswidely used to precision tools. This process can be successfully employed to machineelectrically conductive parts irrespective of their hardness, shape and toughness.[1-3][1] Kansal, H.K., Singh, P, Kumar, P., 2007, Technology and research developments inpowder mixed electric discharge machining (PMEDM), Journal of Materials ProcessingTechnology, 184, 3241.[2] Abu Zeid, O.A., 1997, On the effect of electro-discharge machining parameters on thefatigue life of AISI D6 tool steel.
