Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is widely used for manufacturing complex metal parts. The machining parameters like dielectric fluid, electrode material, current, voltage and pulse rate during EDM are controlled to obtain desired Material Removal Rate (MRR) and it also affects the surface morphology of manufactured components. In this research, effect of changing machining parameters, dielectric fluid (distilled water and kerosene) and electrode materials (copper and graphite) on surface morphology of Al 6061 T6 alloy during EDM is investigated. It is observed that the distilled water reacts with the molten aluminum and produces deep pits / voids on the surface due to liberation of hydrogen gas. A micro crack network is seen radiating from the edge of these pits. It is believed that the very high thermal conductivity of distilled water is responsible for the micro crack network and reduced material removal rate when compared with non-reactive kerosene oil.
