Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the most efficiently employed non-traditional machining process for cutting hard-to-cut materials & to cut geometrically complex shapes that are difficult to machine by conventional machines. In the present paper reviews is conducted of experimental investigations carried out to study the effect of EDM parameters on material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear (EWR), surface roughness (Ra) and diameteral overcut in corrosion resistant stainless steels. The non-contact machining technique has been continuously evolving from a mere tool and die making process to a micro-scale application machining alternative attracting a significant amount of research interests and Electrochemical machining (ECM) offers several special advantages including higher machining rate, better precision and control, and a wider range of materials that can be machined. This paper reviews work related to EDM and ECM processes applied to stainless steel materials such as AISI 304, AISI 302B, 316 L and 17-4 PH.

Keywords- EDM, ECM, Stainless steel materials.
