Application of nano aluminum in modified EDM: pmedm

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of nano aluminum mixed with electrical discharge machining dielectric on surface roughness (Ra), corrosion rate and material removal rate (MRR) of titanium alloy. Conventional machining of titanium alloy is a challenge even when using non-convent...
