CONCLUSION

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a manufacturing process whereby a


wanted shape of an object of workpiece is obtained using electrical discharges
(sparks). The material removal from the workpiece occurs by a series of rapidly
recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a dielectric
liquid and subject to an electric voltage.
EDM die sinking machine consists of an electrode and workpiece that are
submerged in an insulating liquid such oil or, less frequently, other dielectric
fluids. The electrode and workpiece are connected to a suitable power supply. As
the electrode approaches the workpiece, dielectric breakdown occurs in the fluid
forming a plasma channel and a small spark jumps. These sparks usually strike
one at a time because it is very unlikely that different locations in the interelectrode space have the very identical local electrical characteristics which
would enable a spark to occur simultaneously in all such locations.
The EDM die sinking process is most widely used by the mould-making
tool and die industries, but is becoming a common method of making prototype
and production parts, especially in the aerospace, automobile and electronics
industries in which production quantities are relatively low.
The desired objectives have been successfully implemented. We have
successfully used Die sinking EDM machine with skill and know how to enter the
program and run machine for the design of the products made. All that was
taught to us was really helpful to our advantage as we go into the working world
later.
