NITINOL is a newly developed material. It possesses the properties as high fatigue strength, high malleability and high toughness. So machining of such materials is very difficult due to above properties .Thus there is necessary to study the machining methods which use appropriate feed , cutting speed and also considering the machining parameters. A non-conventional machining method Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is used to cut hard to machine materials which are difficult to machine by traditional processes. WEDM is thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with difficult shapes and more hardness, which have sharp edges that are very difficult to be machined by the traditional machining processes. WEDM is worked on sparking phenomenon of EDM and used as non-contact type material removal process.
