Experimental Investigation on Silicon Powder Mixed-EDM of Nimonic-90 Superalloy

Powder mixed electrical discharge machining (PM-EDM) is a technological advancement in electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes where fine powder is added to dielectric to improve the machining rate and surface quality. In this paper, machining of Nimonic-90 was carried out using fabricated PM...
