Study on surface integrity of tungsten carbide macidned by die-sinking EDM using Taguchi method / Amizan Amran

Tungsten Carbide is one ofthe important composite materials that are used in the manufacture of cutting tools, dies and other special tools. It has high hardness and .excellent resistance to shock and wear, and is not possible to machine easily using .conventional techniques. Tungsten Carbide is sub...
