Abstract

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a modern machining method used to shape conductive materials through electrical spark discharges. In this process, the type of electrode used plays a crucial role in determining machining efficiency and the quality of the final result. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three types of electrodes—copper, brass, and graphite—in influencing the material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR). The experiments were carried out using standardized machining parameters for each electrode to ensure a fair comparison. The workpiece material used was carbon steel, which is commonly processed using EDM. After machining, the results were evaluated based on the obtained MRR and TWR values, along with visual observation of the surface finish. The test results showed that the graphite electrode achieved the highest material removal rate, although it also experienced significant electrode wear. The copper electrode provided a balanced performance with stable MRR and TWR, while the brass electrode exhibited the lowest wear but also produced a relatively low material removal rate. These findings indicate that no single electrode type is superior in all aspects, and the ideal electrode choice depends heavily on the primary objective of the machining process. Keywords: EDM, electrode, copper, brass, graphite, material removal, electrode wear.
