Micro-EDM process is based on the thermoelectric energy between the workpiece and an electrode. Micro-EDM is a newly developed method to produce micro-parts which in the range of 50 μm -100 μm. Micro-EDM is an efficient machining process for the fabrication of a micro-metal hole with various advantages resulting from its characteristics of non-contact and thermal process. A pulse discharges occur in a small gap between the work piece and the electrode and at the same time removes the unwanted material from the parent metal through the process of melting and vaporization. This paper describes the characteristics, parameters of material removal rate and the tool wear rate that are essential in the Micro-EDM process. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79952434382&partnerID=40&md5=8e87851ed97a29666be317e0d3471b62 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2010, IMECS 2010 place_of_pub: Kowloon pagerange: 981-986 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789881701282 citation: Mahendran, S. and Devarajan, R. and Nagarajan, T. and Majdi, A.
