Abstract
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) an unconventional machining technology which has become indispensable in many industries. The typical morphology of a surface machined using the electrical discharge technology is characterized with a large number of craters caused by electro-spark discharges produced during the machining process. The study deals with an evaluation of the machine parameter setting on the profile parameters of surface waviness on samples made of two metal materials Al 99.5 and Ti-6Al-4V. Attention was also paid to an evaluation of the surface morphology using 3D colour filtered and non-filtered images.
Highlights
The physical substance of stock removal in the electroerosion process is in periodically acting electrical discharges between the tool electrode and the workpiece.The erosion process alone takes place in a dielectric medium – a liquid with high electric resistance

Summary
The physical substance of stock removal in the electroerosion process is in periodically acting electrical discharges between the tool electrode and the workpiece.The erosion process alone takes place in a dielectric medium – a liquid with high electric resistance. The study deals with an evaluation of the machine parameter setting on the profile parameters of surface waviness on samples made of two metal materials Al 99.5 and Ti-6Al-4V. Mahapatra [3] focused on the significant machining parameters (metal removal rate, kerf and surface finish) for the performance measures in the WEDM.
