In the present work, the effect of tool surface roughness on energy channelization behavior was analyzed during the fabrication of micro holes by an electrochemical spark machining (ECSM) process. In this study, rough tools were fabricated by a rotary mode multi tip electric discharge machining (RM-MT-EDM) process. The electrical characterization was also carried out to investigate the electric field intensity over the surface of tool electrode, and it was found that the use of rough tools improves the electric field intensity by 265.54% in comparison to the smooth tool electrodes. The use of rough tools in the ECSM process forms thin and stable gas film over the tool electrode, and as a result the rough tools produced high frequency spark discharges. Energy channelization index and specific energy were considered as response characteristics. The use of rough tools improves energy channelization index by 248.40%, and the specific energy is reduced by 143.263%. The material removal mechanisms for both of the processes (RM-MT-EDM and ECSM process) have also been presented through illustrations.
