Electrical Discharge Machining of Ceramic/semiconductor/metal Nanocomposites
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electroconductive, homogeneous and dense ceramic/semiconductor/metal nanocomposites were obtained by hot press and subsequently machined by wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). The addition of semiconductor and metal phases to a highperformance ceramic material produces nanocomposites which preserve the excellent mechanical properties of the ceramic/metal material while reaching the electrical conductivity necessary for EDM. The role of the low concentration of metal has been investigated from a mechanical and an electrical point of view resulting critical for the final behaviour.
