Current Research Trends on Dry, Near-Dry and Powder Mixed Electrical Discharge Machining

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) technique has been widely used in modern metal working industry for producing complex cavities in dies and moulds, which are otherwise difficult to create by conventional machining. The process has the advantage of being able to machine hardened tool steels. Howe...

Powder mixed electric discharge machining (PMEDM) is one of the recent innovations for the enhancement of capabilities of EDM process. In PMEDM, the electrically conductive powder is mixed in the dielectric fluid of EDM, which reduces the insulating strength of the dielectric fluid and increases the spark gap between the tool and workpiece. As a result, the process becomes more stable, thereby, improving the material removal rate (MRR) and surface finish. Moreover, the surface develops high resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
