Comparis<strong>on</strong> of MRR <strong>using</strong> <strong>electrode</strong> of copper and graphite<br />
5. C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong><br />
The Die-sinker EDM is widely used machine <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> machining<br />
of hard material with high precisi<strong>on</strong>, high surface finish,<br />
complex profiles. The cost incurred <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> machining of hard<br />
and complex profile parts is less than the other methods of<br />
machining. From the results it is found that graphite <strong>electrode</strong><br />
is more favourable than the copper <strong>electrode</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
machining of steel work piece <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> MRR and TWR. It is also<br />
found that overall cost <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> machining of hard material with<br />
the use of graphite <strong>electrode</strong> is <str<strong>on</strong>g>comparative</str<strong>on</strong>g>ly less than copper<br />
<strong>electrode</strong>.<br />
