Surface modification using Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) with powder addition

Powder mixed electrical discharge machining (PMEDM) is one of the recent innovations for the enhancement of the capabilities of EDM process. In this study, the effects of powder addition on the surface modification of mild steel were investigated. Copper tungsten electrode was used in the machini...
