Reihe: Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing

This book covers both the fundamentals and recent advancements in Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) technology, including developments in machine tools, process capabilities, subsystems, electrodes and dielectrics, control units, and more. It also explores EDM variants such as Wire-EDM, ECDM, and other hybrid processes. Key topics include miniature parts fabrication, creating complex shapes and features, machining thin components, microfabrication, and using EDM for coating applications.

- Includes both fundamental and advanced topics in Electric Discharge Machining (EDM)

- Discusses micro-EDM, modeling, green manufacturing, and processing of specific materials

- Covers novel approaches such as hybridization of EDM with other conventional or advanced processes

- Explores case studies on research investigations to provide real-world insights into EDM-based product manufacturing

- Examines monitoring and control, intelligent processing, precision and micromachining, and machining of ceramics and composites

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in manufacturing technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, and metallurgy
