Abstract:
Electrical Discharge Machining process became an inevitable and most popular non-conventional machining process due to its capability of machining intricate shape with high accuracy in difficultto-machine materials. The objective of this paper is to provide a review in the field of EDM and WEDM of titanium and its alloys. The review begins with a detailed introduction on the necessity of EDM and WEDM processes to machine titanium and its alloys and brief overview of EDM and WEDM processes. The various researches are grouped into conventional EDM and WEDM of titanium and its alloys. The area of different researches in conventional EDM and WEDM of titanium and its alloys are discussed.
