Abstract

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-conventional machining process, widely utilized in the modern industrial environment, especially in applications that involve the manufacturing of complex shapes and geometries, along with high dimensional accuracy. Conceptually EDM is a simple process, which is based on the erosion that accompanies the spark occurrence between two electrically conductive materials, one that acts as working electrode and one as the workpiece. Nevertheless, in practice, and due to the technological advances in the relevant field, EDM has become a multi-parameter machining process. The current chapter aims to familiarize the reader with the process of EDM, while at the same time, to provide useful and practical information concerning more advanced topics. The chapter's first sections are an introduction to the EDM, where a brief historical review, and the basic working principles are presented. The basic physical mechanisms that take place during machining are analyzed, along with the major machining parameters and performance indexes. Moreover, a brief literature review concerning the machining of steel and aluminum alloys with EDM is quoted. Thereafter, the basic principles for modeling and simulation of the process are introduced, aiming to become a helpful reference in model development. Finally, in the last section, a comparative study regarding the machining of two different aluminum alloys (i.e., Al5052 and Al6063) with EDM is presented, indicating how different alloys of the same base may have different behavior during their machining with EDM.
