Abstract

Electro discharge machining (EDM) is an unconventional machining process that uses spark energy to remove material from the workpiece. EDM process is extensively being used in die/mould making industries, automobile industry, aerospace industry etc. for generating complex and intricate shape on hard material. Numbers of research works have been carried out using EDM process in order to improve the performance. Further, different variant of EDM process like dry EDM, orbital EDM, powder mixed EDM, ultrasonic assisted EDM and rotary EDM etc. have also been studied. Rotary EDM process is very promising process that helps to improve surface finish, overcut as well as out of roundness. In the present paper, a extensive review has been presented on rotary EDM process. Significance of several input parameters has been observed on output characteristics like overcut and out of roundness.
