Description: There is a huge demand in the production of micro structures by a non-traditional method which is known as Micro-EDM. Micro-EDM process is based on the thermoelectric energy between the workpiece and an electrode. Micro-EDM is a newly developed method to produce micro-parts which in the range of 50 µm -100 µm. Micro-EDM is an efficient machining process for the fabrication of a micro-metal hole with various advantages resulting from its characteristics of non-contact and thermal process. A pulse discharges occur in a small gap between the work piece and the electrode and at the same time removes the unwanted material from the parent metal through the process of melting and vaporization. This paper describes the characteristics, parameters of material removal rate and the tool wear rate that are essential in the Micro-EDM process.
