Influence of TaC Powder Additive on electrical discharge machining of stainless Steel

Surfaces machined by electrical discharge machining (EDM) can be improved in terms of hardness and corrosion resistance by addition of powder to the dielectric fluid during EDM. In the present study TaC powder was mixed at three different concentrations with kerosene as dielectric fluid during EDM....
