Abstract
Turning by electrical discharge machining is an emerging area of research. Generally, wire-cut electrical discharge machining is used for turning because it is not concerned with electrode tooling cost. The process variant die-sinking electrical discharge machining can also be effectively used to generate free-form cylindrical geometries on difficult-to-cut materials with complex shapes at both macro and micro levels. The machining performance of electric discharge machine is defined and influenced by its process parameters, which significantly affects production rate and the quality of machined component. Thus, it is very important to select machining parameters and their levels cautiously in order to improve the outcome of the process. In this article, the authors have reviewed the research work carried out in the area of electrical discharge turning in the last decade for the improvement of material removal rate, surface integrity and roundness. In this review, various techniques reported by electrical discharge machining researchers on turning have been categorised in different electrical discharge machining variants. The article also discussed the future direction of research work in the same area.
