Abstract: Electro discharge boring (EDB) process is novel concept of machining through X-Y tool actuation applied for boring of hard and difficult to machine materials. Unlike conventional boring machining, EDB process is free from vibration, cutting forces or tool deflection. Since, the removal of material takes place due to the action of repetitive sparks therefore overcut is observed in the bored cavity produced during EDB process. In the present study, an effort has been made to predict and reduce the overcut generated during EDB process. Effect of process parameters on overcut have been studied using Taguchi's experimental method and then significant process parameters have been identified using analysis of variance method. Further, a prediction model has been developed using multiple regression analysis for prediction of overcut produced during boring process on Inconel 718 material. Finally, an algorithm has been developed in MATLAB software for compensation of overcut by suggesting compensating orbital radius for specified target diameter of cavity. The test results obtained using proposed algorithm show that the cavities generated are very close to the specified target cavities. [Submitted 3 September 2016; Accepted 24 July 2018]
