Electro-discharge machining of alumina: investigation of material removal rate and surface roughness

Alumina is a non-conductive ceramic material which can meet the high demand of industrial applications due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. However, machining of alumina is not possible by using the conventional machining methods due to its inherent brittleness. Recently, electro-d...
