Influence of electrode cooling on material migration among the electrodes during EDM of titanium alloy

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is widely used in the machining of electrically conductive hard metals for the production of dies and moulds. This paper describes an investigation of the effect of electrode cooling on the amount of elements migration from the electrode to the workpiece surface...
