Surface integrity evaluation on titanium alloy after EDM machining using different graphite electrodes

The quality of an EDM product is usually evaluated in terms of its surface integrity, having these specific characteristic like the surface roughness, existence of surface cracks and residual stresses. Many process variables affect the surface integrity such as Pulse Duration, Peak Current, Open Gap...
