Surface Characteristics of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn in Electrical Discharge Machining Using Negative Polarity of Electrode

Surface Characteristics of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn in Electrical Discharge Machining Using Negative Polarity of Electrode

A large number of parameters significantly affect the performance of electrical discharge machining (EDM) which is a non-conventional technique. The choice of the EDM parameters depends on workpieceelectrode material combination. So, the selection of parameters becomes intricate. This manuscript pre...
