FDDI is proud to announce that Dr. Prashant Tripathi (Faculty, FDP – Chandigarh), along with co-author Prof. Shankar, has published a research paper titled “Comparative Study on Wet and Dry EDM of Inconel 800” in the prestigious SCIE-indexed, Q1/Q2 journal Machining Science and Technology, published by Taylor & Francis, USA. The paper was officially published on 28th July 2025 and is listed in both Web of Science and SCOPUS. The journal bears Print ISSN 1091-0344 and Online ISSN 1532-2483.
Dr. Prashant Tripathi, Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Unconventional Machining), is an experienced faculty at FDDI Chandigarh, heading the Non-Leather Department. With over 10 years of teaching experience, he specializes in machining, polymer processing, rapid prototyping, and 3D printing. He has supervised multiple M.Tech and B.Tech projects and published research papers in SCIE and Scopus-indexed journals.
The research, conducted on a high-precision Electric Discharge Machine (EDM) with a rotating electrode, provides significant industrial insights. It demonstrates that dry EDM, which uses compressed air instead of dielectric liquids, is not only more environmentally friendly but also delivers superior surface quality. On the other hand, wet EDM enables faster material removal, making it ideal where machining speed is critical.
This publication marks an important contribution to sustainable and efficient manufacturing practices and reinforces FDDI’s commitment to advancing research in cutting-edge machining technologies and advanced materials.
