A Review of Studies on Performance Evaluation of Electro Discharge Machine

Abstract

An electro-discharge machine (EDM) is a majorly used non-traditional machine in modern industry. EDM has been employed to machine complex contours and hard materials for the past five decades. With consistent improvisation in the technique of EDM, its performance is methodically assessed. It found its application in innumerable machining sectors such as aerospace, medical instruments, automotive, and many more. The present study is intended to review the performance evaluation of EDM. The influence of EDM parameters over performance evaluates have been deliberated through past literatures and the trend of research have been discussed in the paper.
