Designing an electrode for EDM

Abstract

This thesis is about designing an electrode for an Electric Discharge Machine. EDM is one of the most used methods for machining. It is a process of eroding material from the work piece with the help of series of sparks to bring out the desired shape. It is very useful for machining hard metals. There are various kinds of EMD, like, Wire EDM, electrode EDM. This thesis is based on Electrode EDM. Graphite is one of the most suitable materials for electrode in use.
