Abstract

The aim of this review paper is to present the consolidated information on processing of nickel based alloy using electrical discharge machining (EDM) and wire electrical discharge machining process (WEDM) and subsequently identify the research gaps. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a widely accepted process for machining of Nickel based alloy. This material is important in high-temperature applications; they are also known as heat-resistant material. They are extremely useful in gas turbine, aircraft, nuclear reactors, petrochemical equipment’s. Nickel based alloy is the only materials to retain high strength even after continuous exposure to extremely high temperatures. Due to these properties the machining of this material is difficult. New and alternate method of machining propelled research to develop and use new processes of machining which promoted the use of electric discharge machining and wire electric discharge machining process. The process is widely accepted by the researchers to machine the Nickel based alloy. This paper has been concluded by giving some suggestion for future researcher from the literature survey.
