In this experimental work, the micro structure and the micro hardness of the surfaces machined under the dry EDM process is analyzed for AISI D2 tool steel and LM13 aluminum alloy. The experiments were conducted using copper tool electrode. Few modifications were made in the tool for conducting the experiments under dry EDM process. Discharge current, pulse on time, voltage, pressure, tool rotational speed and the duty factor were used as the various process parameters and their influence over the micro structure and micro hardness of the machined surfaces were analyzed. Better results were observed in the dry EDM process for AISI D2 tool steel, whereas dry EDM process did not reveal appreciable results for LM13 aluminum alloy.
