Discharge Energy as a Key Contributing Factor Determining Microgeometry of Aluminum Samples Created by Electrical Discharge Machining

The aim of this study is first to determine the effect of the discharge energy on the surface microgeometry of aluminum samples created by electrical discharge machining (EDM). Secondly, an additional purpose is to demonstrate the differences between the geometric multiscale methods: length-, area-s...
