The micro-electrical discharge machining process is hindered by low material removal rate and low surface quality, which bound its capability. The assistance of ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force in micro-electrical discharge machining helps to overcome this limitation and increase the stability of the machining process. In the present research, an attempt has been made on Taguchi based GRA optimization for µEDM assisted with ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force while µEDM of SKD-5 die steel with the tubular copper electrode. The process parameters such as ultrasonic vibration, magnetic pulling force, tool rotation, energy and feed rate have been chosen as process variables. Material removal rate and taper of the feature have been selected as response measures. From the experimental study, it has been found that response output measures have been significantly improved by 18% as compared to non assisted µEDM. The best optimal combination of input parameters for improved performance measures were recorded as machining with ultrasonic vibration (U1), 0.25 kgf of magnetic pulling force (M1), 600 rpm of tool rotation (R2), 3.38 mJ of energy (E3) and 1.5 mm/min of Tool feed rate (F3). The confirmation trail was also carried out for the validation of the results attained by Grey Relational Analysis and confirmed that there is a substantial improvement with both assistance applied simultaneously.

The performance improvement in Electrical Discharge Machining process is a tedious one in materials and manufacturing processes especially in making of complex die and moulds. Due to non linear nature of this process, conventional pulse generators such as RC pulse generator and transistor pulse train generator cannot produce uniform energy distribution. Since RC pulse generator can produce smaller crater volume, it can make better surface finish than transistor pulse train generator crater size is influenced by the discharge current produced during the machining process. Due to its stochastic behavior, the discharge current is varied for every spark. The modified iso current pulse generator can produce uniform energy distribution with smaller crater size. In this study, EDM drilling experiments have been conducted on AISI 304 stainless steel with the RC pulse generator, Transistor pulse generator and iso energy pulse generator in electrical erosion process. The effects of these pulse generators on surface characterization have been evaluated and analyzed. From the evaluation results, it has been detected that the iso energy pulse generator has produced better surface structure than conventional pulse generators.

Electrical discharge grinding (EDG) is an advanced machining process and can be utilised to fabricate complex geometry of PCD tools. However, the PCD removal mechanism in this process is complicated. This study was carried out to understand the difference in PCD surface structure with difference EDG polarities. The study revealed that the finishing process with negative polarity is the reason for the porous structure on the surface. Further analysis on the chemical element and carbon structure were implemented as the morphological examination of the surface.
