This research aimed to study the machining efficiency of AISI P20 steel by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) using rod copper electrode to machining material by 50 mm depth of machining was mainly assessed from Materials Removal Rate (MRR) and Electrode Wear Ratio (EWR). From the experiment designed to use Taguchi technique of data analysis and suitable parameter prediction, the highest MRR was at on-time of 150 μs, off-time of 2 μs and electric current level was at 15 A or 0.25 A/mm2. Predicted value was at 19.2395 mm3/min which was equal to real experiment, showing Materials Removal Rate of 19.647 mm3/min (with error of 2.12 percent) .Moreover, it was found that gap would increase with the size of electrode and depth of machining caused by movement of particles removed from side surface of electrode, which cause micro sparks at the side of the material workpiece.

In this study, input parameters of Electrical Discharge machining (EDM) process have been optimised for two different materials EN-8 and Die steel-D3 were machined by using sintered copper electrode. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to study the influences of process parameters viz: - peak current, pulse on time, di-electric pressure and diameter of electrode on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR) for both materials. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to optimise the multi responses in order to get maximum MRR, minimum TWR and minimum SR. Furthermore, mathematical model has been formulated to estimate the corresponding output responses for both work pieces. It has been observed that compared to EN 8 material, the MRR value is low and TWR is high for D3 material. However the SR value is marginally lower than obtained in EN8.R2 value is above 0.90 for both work pieces.

The electrode material is playing the very important role in the electrical discharge machining. Two kinds of electrode materials common used in EDM are compared and analyses similarities and differences in structure and physical characteristics. Combined with PcBN tool machining tests, from the electric discharge machining efficiency, electrode wear, tool surface quality, tool surface degenerating layer, machining results are in analysis and comparison, and then different electrode materials machining technics in electrical discharge machining process are summarized. Through the cutting tool electric discharge machining experiments, we can know that the graphite electrode easy to take shape, suits in the complex edge's cutting tool electric discharge machining, under the same electric discharge machining parameter condition, its processing efficiency must be higher than the copper electrode, but the electrode loses, the cutting tool surface quality and affect layer thickness are to be worse than the copper electrode.

As on today, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is world famous unconventional machining process for electrically conductive materials. In this project work, Ti-6Al-4V is performed in electrical discharge machining using differently shaped (circular and convex) copper electrode. The machining parameters considered are the pulse on- time, pulse off-time, voltage and current to investigate machining characteristics like material removal rate and tool wear rate. Taguchi method is applied to frame experimental design. Ti-6Al-4V finds wide usage in industrial applications such as marine, aerospace, bio-medical and so on.
