Effect of electrical parameters on performance of Cu-TiC mixed ceramic compact electrode in EDM process

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the most extensively used non conventional material removal processes to machine very hard material. Such materials like hardened tool steel, titanium and its alloy, Hastelloy which were hitherto difficult to machine can be easily processed with EDM. To...
