In this paper, a thermo-physical model of the electric discharge machining process using finite element method is presented. In this model, parameters such as convection, the latent heat and the thermal properties based on temperature dependent etc. are studied to predict the temperature distribution in the workpiece. The temperature field simulation and experiment were carried out by adopting parameters through optimum pulse curve, and amending the effects of recast layer, the simulation results amended shows a better agreement with experimental results, indicating a theoretical foundation for mechanism of material removal in EDM machining.

Optimum control parameter setting in complex and stochastic type processes is one of the most challenging problems to the process engineers. As such, effective model development and determination of optimal operating conditions of electric discharge machining process (EDM) are reasonably difficult. In this apper, an easy to handle optimization procedure, weight-varying multiobjective simulated annealing, is proposed and is applied to optimize two conflicting type response parameters in EDM—material removal rate (MRR) and average surface roughness (Ra) simultaneously. A solution set is generated. The Pareto optimal front thus developed is further modeled. An inverse solution procedure is devised so that near-optimum process parameter settings can be determined for specific need based requirements of process engineers. The results are validated.

Powder mixed electric discharge machining (PMEDM) is one of the modern developments in electric discharge machining (EDM) process. In the present work, finite element modeling has been carried out considering randomly oriented multiple sparks during PMEDM. Transient thermal analysis is done to obtain temperature distribution, volume removal, and proportion of volume removed by melting and evaporation at different current, pulse on time and fraction of heat that enters to work piece. Gradually growing spark behavior and Gaussian distribution of heat source is used to simulate multiple craters. Temperature distribution along radial direction shows peak temperature at center of spark and thereafter a gradual decrease with increase in radial distance. Along depth direction temperature sharply decreases that forms wider craters with shallow depth in PMEDM. Peak temperature and volume removal increases with current more rapidly. Volume removal by melting is much higher than evaporation at lower current settings and with higher current almost equal amount of material is removed by melting and evaporation thus reducing the re-solidification of melted material. Current plays a significant role behind the contribution of material removal by evaporation followed by fraction of heat. Increase in pulse on duration increases the total volume of material removal however does not significantly increase the proportion of volume removal by vaporization.
