Abstract

Non-traditional machining is a milestone in the manufacturing industries in today's machining process. Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is one of the most advanced non-traditional manufacturing processes for machining difficult-to-machine materials. In precision manufacturing industries such as automobile, aerospace, and sheet metal, non-traditional machining processes such as electro discharge machining (EDM) and wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) play a critical role. Most of the time, the manufacturer's machine tool tables do not meet the machining requirements of a particular material. The purpose of this paper is to present an aggregated overview of various researchers contributions to the WEDM process. This review paper describe the WEDM process in relation between different input process parameter and different output measure like material removal rate, surface roughness, kerf width and wire wear ratio. In this paper is concluded by highlighting different wire material, wire diameter and discusses their role in WEDM process.
