Elucidating Powder-Mixed Electric Discharge Machining Process, Applicability, Trends and Futuristic Perspectives

Since the inception of electric discharge machining (EDM), it has facilitated production industries, for instance, die & mold, automotive, aerospace, etc., by providing an effective solution hard-to-cut materials and intricate geometries. However, achieving high rates a fine surface finish is inherent issue with traditional EDM process. The emergence powder mixed (PMEDM) process not only provided opportunity enhancing productivity but also opened window its potential application in modification/coating biomaterials. incorporates simultaneous coating bioimplants, i.e., lacking already available chemical physical methods while requiring costly post-treatment procedures. This study comprehends influence characteristics parameters on performance parameters. impact tool electrodes additive powders machined coated commonly used Furthermore, depicts most frequently optimizing PMEDM process, future research directions, challenges, trends over past decade.
