Abstract
Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a material removal process that is especially useful for difficult-to-cut materials with complex shapes and is widely used in aerospace, automotive, surgical tools among other fields. EDM is one of the most efficient manufacturing processes and is used to achieve highly accurate production. It is a non-contact thermal energy process used to machine electrically conductive components irrespective of the material’s mechanical properties. Studies related to the EDM have shown that the process performance can be considerably improved by properly selecting the process material and operating parameters. This paper reviews research studies on the application of EDM to different grades of stainless steel materials and describes experimental and theoretical studies of EDM that have attempted to improve the process performance, by considering material removal rate, surface quality and tool wear rate, amongst others. In addition, this paper examines evaluation models and techniques used to determine the EDM process conditions. This review also presents a discussion on developments in EDM and outlines the likely trend for future research.
