Analysis of micro-scale EDM process

A micro EDM model is proposed along with numeric simulation and experimental validation. The work is aimed at relating input/output parameters towards the establishment of a possible process model. It makes use of dimensionless groups related and relevant to micro electro discharges and their effect on metal removal during the process. The reasons for their selection are discussed and problems related to micro discharges are explained. An electric circuit used for the controlling of the discharge is presented and explained. A specific output is used as an example for the model, as suggested.
