Abstract

Micro-EDM drilling becomes an important fabrication process for several different industrial applications. Micro-EDM drilling provides comparative advantages over conventional mechanical micro-drilling process owing to its capability of machining difficult-to-cut materials. This chapter provides a concise overview of micro-EDM drilling process. It presents working principle of the micro-EDM drilling as well as both operating and performance parameters along with some important applications. This chapter also covers micro-EDM drilling for difficult-to-cut materials such as steel alloys, Ti alloys and Ni alloys.
