Definitions

  • the molten chips may be removed from cutting zone and out of the gap effectively. This may avoid and/or alleviate thermal impact on the workpiece so as to improve the machining quality.
  • the removal agent may be dispersed into the electrolyte so as to retrofit conventional electroerosion machining systems and increase system flexibility.
