Electrical discharge machining process (EDM) is a process for removing material by the thermal of electrical discharge. EDM process melts and evaporates workpiece material. Some of the melted and all of the evaporated material is then quenched and flushed away by dielectric liquid and the remaining melt recast on the finished surface. The recast layer is called as white layer. Beneath the recast layer, a heat affected zone is formed. The quality of an EDM product is usually evaluated in terms of its surface integrity, which is characterized by existence of surface cracks and residual stresses. The machinability of EDM in terms of the material removal rate and electrode wear ratio was evaluated in this paper. The machining tests were carried out on a copper alloy grade HR750 with a copper tungsten electrode. The workpiece surfaces are analyzed by optical microscope and XRD technique. The formation of crack is not found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
