Improving the precision of micro-EDM for blind holes in titanium alloy by fixed reference axial compensation

During the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process, the tool electrode wear is inevitable, which affects the process precision of the micro-hole. In the present experimental investigation, a fixed reference axial compensation (FRAC) method is proposed to enhance the machining precision of micro...
