Paper Details

Wire EDM machines are used to cut all conductive material of any hardness or toughness or those are difficult orimpossible to cut with conventional methods. Wire electrical discharge machining process is a highly complex, time varying &stochastic process. Electrical discharge machining has been extensively used for cutting intricate contours or delicate cavities thatwould be difficult to produce with a conventional machining methods or tools.A review of the research work on Wire EDM is presented in this paper. Some important research work of the recent years has beendiscussed. The review revealed that majority of the researchers have focused research work on performance parameters of the wireEDM process, multi objective optimization of the input and performance parameters, dimensional accuracy of the WEDM,development of mathematical model of the process. Researchers have used different types of statistical methods for the analysis of theexperimental results. Grey Relation analysis is used in some research work for the multi objective optimization. Taguchi method incombination with ANOVA is used to analyze the result data and significant effect of parameters on performance characteristics.The review relies on notable academic publications and recent conference proceedings
