  Advances In Simulation of Electro-   Discharge Machining I n this blog, you will find information about the possibilities of acquiring near to accurate results in the simulation of EDM. The blog focuses on different simulation techniques incorporated during modelling. BACKGROUND Electro Discharge Machining process is one the precision machining processes which gives accuracy of machining in micrometers. EDM processes are extensively complicated, and require a trained professional for operational purposes. In a research - based scenario, individuals incorporate their own ways of modelling the setup to obtain desired results. This blog discusses various methods in various parts of simulating EDM, which one may use for modelling his/her own setup. EDM is an extremely complex heat transfer. The heat induces melting and a partial evaporation of the cathode and anode surface, which is transmitted from a high temperature plasma channel. With the enthalpy method, one can solve the p...

  Dry EDM Process The famous Electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is widely used to machine electrically conductive materials through the process of controlled spark generation. The dielectric fluid helps in flushing away the debris from the spark gap and also in cooling of the work piece and the tool electrode immersed in it. Mineral oil is typically used as the dielectric medium. This poses a threat in the immediate surroundings of the machine and to the environment due to the toxic fumes produced during the process. The Dry EDM is a “green” environment friendly EDM technique in which a gas is used at high pressure as the dielectric medium instead of mineral oil based dielectric. This method also leads to various other advantages on the overall process. Introduction to Dry EDM :  Dry Electrical discharge machining (Dry EDM) is performed in a gas atmosphere. It typically used gases like air, oxygen, argon, helium, nitrogen or a gas mixture as dielectric. This ga...
