Micro-electrical discharge machining is an evolution of conventional EDM used for fabricating three-dimensional complex micro-components and microstructure with high precision capabilities. However, due to the stochastic nature of the process, it has not been fully understood. This paper proposes an analytical model based on electro-thermal theory to estimate the geometrical dimensions of micro-crater. The model incorporates voltage, current and pulse-on-time during material removal to predict the temperature distribution on the workpiece as a result of single discharges in micro-EDM. It is assumed that the entire superheated area is ejected from the workpiece surface while only a small fraction of the molten area is expelled. For verification purposes, single discharge experiments using RC pulse generator are performed with pure tungsten as the electrode and AISI 4140 alloy steel as the workpiece. For the pulse-on-time range up to 1000 ns, the experimental and theoretical results are found to be in close agreement with average volume approximation errors of 2.7% and 6.6% for the anode and cathode, respectively.
