Abstract

Deep drilling on materials has many engineering applications. In the present work, deep drilling of stainless steel 316L has been done using brass electrode-tube on orbital electrical discharge machine (EDM). Peak current, pulse-on time, duty factor, and flushing pressure are considered as input parameters for experimentation, and influence of these parameters on EWR and MRR is investigated. It was concluded that SS-316L workpiece material and brass electrode-tube material were best machined with 3.0 A peak current at 75% duty factor.
