Effect of gap voltage and pulse-on time on material removal rate for electrical discharge machining of Al2O3

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a non-conventional machining technique which can be used to machine non-conductive ceramics. This technique removes materials from the workpiece by thermal energy exerted from series of electrical sparks. Using copper foil as assisting electrode (AE), machi...
