The Performance of Brass Electrode on Material Removal for Aluminium Composite in EDM Die-Sinking

This paper investigates the performance of brass electrode on the removal of aluminium alloys LM6 (Al-Sil2) in an electrical discharge machining (EDM) die-sinking. The machining parameters such as pulse-on time, pulse-off time and peak current were selected to find the responses on the material char...
