John Arthur Gavino, Jovelito Sale

Abstract: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a machining process used for producing complex metal fabrication that cannot produce using conventional machining processes. Proper selection of material is important for the benefits of the machining rate. Good selection of material leads to better performance. The present study mainly focusing on copper as the electrode. The objective of this is to assess the wear rate of the copper on AISI 4340 alloy steel and output parameters such as pulse current, pulse on time, and pulse off time.

Keywords: AISI 4340 Alloy Steel, Copper Electrode, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), Electrode Wear Rate (EWR), Pulse Current, Pulse off time, Pulse on time.
