Electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is one of the most commonly used nonconventional precise material removal processes. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a process for shaping hard metals and forming deep complex shaped holes by arc erosion in all kinds of electroconductive materials. Erosion pulse discharge occurs in a small gap between the work piece and the electrode. This re...

the micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro wire-edm) process is a modern machining process with various applications in manufacturing micro-parts. the recast layer remaining on the machined surfaces is an inevitable complication of this process. this layer can subsequently affect the machined parts performance. to optimize the recast layer in the micro wire-edm of the molybdenum micro...
