(BQ) Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional machining process which is more efficient than traditional maching process due to ease of machining of difficult-to-machine materials with complex shapes. EDM is used for machining of toughened and high strength conductive materials which is hard enough to cut by traditional processes. | Available online at ScienceDirect Procedia Materials Science 5 (2014) 1702 – 1709 © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
