The Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) has emerged as one of the major machining method for the machining of hard-to- machine materials and composites. This paper aims at creating a mathematical model for the machining of the Al(6351)-SiC-B4C composites based on the experimental data and compare the same to identify the level of errors between the mathematical model and the experimental results. This paper was aimed as an attempt to develop a mathematical model for the output parameters viz. Electrode Wear ratio and Surface roughness based on the input parameters viz. current, pulse-on-time, pulse duty-factor and gap voltage.
