Investigation of surface roughness in micro-electro discharge machining of nonconductive ZrO2 for MEMS application

Micro-electro discharge machining technique, a noncontact machining process, is applied for drilling blind hole on nonconductive ZrO2 ceramic for MEMS application. A conductive layer of adhesive copper is applied on the workpiece surface to initiate the sparks. Kerosene is used as dielectric for cre...
