A mathematical model for surface roughness of fluidic channels produced by grinding aided electrochemical discharge machining (G-ECDM)

Grinding aided electrochemical discharge machining is a hybrid technique, which combines the grinding action of an abrasive tool and thermal effects of electrochemical discharges to remove material from the workpiece for producing complex contours. The present study focuses on developing fluidic cha...
