Development of Powder Metallurgy (PM) compacted Cu-TaC electrodes for EDM
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of Cu-TaC electrodes produced by Powder Metallurgy (PM) method. The design of Experiment (DOE) method was used to plan the investigation. Two different compositions of the powders (Cu-TaC with 30 and 55 % wt TaC) were used. The major prope...
