Abstract
This paper presents the results of experimental studies carried out to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the influence of tool material on the characteristics of Electrical Discharge Machining process of AISI H13 tool steel. The studied process characteristics included the tool wear ration and thickness of the white layer on the workpiece after the EDM process. The experiments carried out under the designed full factorial procedure and the considered EDM input parameters included pulse on-time and pulse current. The results of this study could be utilized to choice a set of pulse on-time and pulse current according to the outcomes that suit the requirements of tool-workpiece combination processed by the EDM.Keywords
