Abstract

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a well-known process for machining of difficult to cut materials. Along with adding the powder in dielectric liquid, change in properties of machining gap results in a variety of sparks forms and lead different mechanisms under specific operational conditions during machining. The discharge models significantly differ from conventional EDM and leave its characteristics surface features. Primary studies of Powder Mixed Electrical Discharge Machining (PMEDM) focused on the understanding of material removal rate, surface quality, and tool wear rate concerning the widespread of the operational conditions evolved in the process. Then, the interactions with the powder material during discharging and the resultant surface properties impel the researcher's interest to achieve functional surfaces. In this respect, PMEDM is a significant concern in recent years as an alternative and simple production technique to obtain functional surfaces for specific needs. Nowadays, among the specific needs, production of biocompatible surfaces with the use of the technique provides a challenging opportunity to the researchers to address osseointegration issues. The study presents an introduction and review of the research work in PMEDM. The studies concerning machining efficiency, surface integrity, and generation of functional surfaces are presented and discussed in the light of current research trends. Attempts made to improve biocompatible surfaces with the use of the process also included to clarify the future trends in PMEDM.
