Effective parameters of electrochemical discharge machining–a review

Abstract

The specific requirements of Advanced materials in Advanced industries like nuclear reactor, Automobiles, Aeronautic have raise the need of Advance machining processes which are able to machine such materials with high material removal rate as well as desired surface quality. Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is one of the hybrid advance machining processes which have potential to machine advance materials with good surface quality desired by Industries. The selection of parameter for higher Material removal rate, higher Surface finish and minimum Tool wear Rate is very essential during ECDM. In this present review Paper, a study of the effective Parameters of ECDM has been carried out with their specific role in Material removal; Surface Finish and Tool wear Rate. The optimized range of parameters by different optimizing techniques has been summarized.
