Abstract

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is regarded one of the dominant non-conventional machining
processes. It is based on thermoelectric power between the work piece and tool. The process includes a controlled
erosion of electrically conductive work piece by the introduction of rapid and repetitive spark discharge between the tool
and work piece by the use of dielectric fluid. To generate a spark between the workpiece and the tool two conditions must
be full filled as one is to have air gap between them and second is both of them have good electrical conductivity. There
are various types of products which can be produced using EDM such as dies and moulds. Parts of aerospace,
automotive industry and surgical components can be finished by EDM. This research paper reviews the vast array of
electrical discharge machining and its various parameters such as material removal rate and surface finish.
