Influence of nano powder mixed dielectric fluid on surface finish in micro electro discharge machining of zirconia

Influence of nano powder mixed dielectric fluid on surface finish in micro electro discharge machining of zirconia

Background: Powder mixed dielectric fluid is being used recently to cut difficult to cut ceramic materials such as aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) where process development and optimization are found to be critical issues. Object: This paper investigates and compares the averag...

Object: This paper investigates and compares the average surface roughness (Ra) in micro electrical discharge machining (EDM) of electrically nonconductive zirconium oxide (ZrO2) ceramic using clean and tantalum carbide (TaC) nano powder mixed kerosene dielectric fluid.
