Experimentation was executed as per Taguchi L18 orthogonal array to inspect the influence of electric discharge machining (EDM) parameters on the material removal rate and surface roughness. The results revealed that the discharge current (contribution: 45.10%), dielectric medium (contribution: 18.24%) majorly affects the material removal rate, whereas electrode material (contribution: 38.72%), pulse-on-time (contribution: 26.11%) were the significant parameters affecting the surface roughness. The machined surface at high spark energy in EDM oil portrayed porosity, oxides formation, and intermetallic compounds. Moreover, a pin-on-disc wear analysis was executed and the machined surface exhibits 70% superior wear resistance compared to the un-machined sample. The surface thus produced also exhibited improved surface wettability responses. The outcomes depict that EDMed DSS alloy can be considered in the different biomedical and industrial applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi11100926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,7]],"date-time":"2020-10-07T09:12:58Z","timestamp":1602061978000},"page":"926","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Surface Characterization and Tribological Performance Analysis of Electric Discharge Machined Duplex Stainless Steel"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Timur Rizovich","family":"Ablyaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Perm National Research Polytechnic University, 614000 Perm, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evgeny Sergeevich","family":"Shlykov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Perm National Research Polytechnic University, 614000 Perm, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karim Ravilevich","family":"Muratov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Perm National Research Polytechnic University, 614000 Perm, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3275-6139","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amit","family":"Mahajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Khalsa College of Engineering and Technology, Amritsar 143001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5910-3213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gurpreet","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Beant College of Engineering and Technology, Gurdaspur 143521, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandeep","family":"Devgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Khalsa College of Engineering and Technology, Amritsar 143001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5837-1678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarabjeet Singh","family":"Sidhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Beant College of Engineering and Technology, Gurdaspur 143521, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1080\/02726351.2016.1150371","article-title":"Influence of graphite powder mixed EDM on the surface integrity characteristics of Inconel 625","volume":"35","author":"Talla","year":"2017","journal-title":"Part.
