This document presents an experimental study and thermal modeling of the dry electric discharge machining (EDM) process. The study aims to develop a dry EDM setup using compressed air as the dielectric medium. Experiments are conducted using a Taguchi design of experiments to analyze how process parameters like current, pulse-on time, and air pressure impact responses like material removal rate, tool wear rate, and surface roughness. Results show that pulse-on time most significantly impacts material removal rate while current and pulse-on time significantly impact tool wear rate. The study concludes that dry EDM can improve surface quality and machining rates compared to conventional EDM. Future work will optimize multiple responses using grey relational analysis.
