Short summary
This paper investigates an experiment with the cryogenically treated copper electrode and an ordinary copper electrode with various input parameters like electrode rotation, gap voltage and discharge current for an EN24 material. An experiment was performed on an electrical discharge machine. Designs of an experiment are carried out using the Taguchi approach. This research finds optimal or dominating factors in both traditional and non-traditional machining processes.
