In the current scenario, manufacturing industries faces difficulties during machining of engineering materials-metal based, having higher mechanical properties viz. higher strength, toughness and hardness through conventional machining methods. These problems include rapid tool wear, poor surface quality of work piece material and lower stock removal rate. EDM is a single prominent what more lucrative unconventional machining procedure is, finding its prevalent functions in motorized and aerospace industries for machining of harder materials that is super alloys. Super alloys are the heat-resistant category of metals maintaining their elevated potency at superior temperature. The present paper focuses on the past work done by the researchers on machining of super alloys viz. titanium, nickel and cobalt using EDM and Wire EDM process.
