Abstract

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the oldest nontraditional machining processes, commonly used in automotive, aerospace and ship building industries for machining metals that have high hardness, strength and to make complicated shapes that cannot be produced by traditional machining techniques. The process is based on the thermoelectric energy between the work piece and an electrode. EDM is slow compared to conventional machining, low material removal rate, high surface roughness, high tool wear and formation of recast layer are the main disadvantages of the process. Tool wear rate, material removal rate and surface quality are important performance measures in electric discharge machining process. Numbers of ways are explored by researchers for improving and optimizing the output responses of EDM process. The paper summarizes the research on die-sinking EDM relating to the improvements in the output response.
