This document summarizes a study that used COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate electric field distribution in electric discharge machining (EDM) and wire EDM processes. The study modeled electric fields using different dielectric systems, varying the inter-electrode gap and supply voltage. Results showed that maximum electric field depends on these parameters. In wire EDM, decreasing the frontal gap was found to increase the electric field angle and reduce side overcut in the workpiece. Overall, the simulation helped predict overcut and optimize process parameters to improve machining efficiency.
