There is a growing demand for industrial products not only with an increased number of functions but also with reduced dimensions. Since the miniaturization of industrial products had been the trend of technological development, micro-machining is expected to play an increasingly important role in today's manufacturing technology. Micro-machining based on lithography has many disadvantages unlike tool-based micro-machining technology such as micro-turning, micro-grinding, micro-EDM and micro-ECM have many advantages in productivity, efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Micro-machining is the most basic technology to produce such miniaturized parts and Micro-textures. In the current study an attempt has been made to develop tool electrode using Aluminium and copper material and check the feasibility of using them for creating micro textures on surface using EDM process.
