We propose in this study an improved thermomechanical model in order to predict numerically the state of the residual stresses in the surface layers of parts, in AISI 316L, machined by EDM. The comparison of the numerical results with the experimental measurements shows a satisfactory prediction of the profile form and the max and min values of the residual stresses. However, a certain shift is still observed in the depths perturbed by the EDM process.
