Abstract
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a powerful, nonconventional machining technique with the ability to machine any conductive material regardless of mechanical property. However, the sluggish nature of EDM stands out when the target is in mass production in industrial plants. Poor surface quality, residual stress, and heat-affected zone are among other disadvantages of this technique. Researchers have proposed several solutions to enhance EDM capabilities by utilizing more innovative materials or methods. With emphasis on EDM development aspects, this chapter provides a detailed review of accessible research accompanied by clear categories to build a clear mapping for further research on EDM.
