Modeling and analysis of MRR, EWR and surface roughness in EDM milling through response surface methodology

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has grown over the last few decades from a novelty to a mainstream anufacturing process. Though, EDM process is very demanding but the mechanism of the process is complex and far from completely understood. It is difficult to establish a model that can accurate...
