Experimental Study of Micro Electrochemical Discharge Machining of Ultra-Clear Glass with a Rotating Helical Tool

Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is one effective way to fabricate non-conductive materials, such as quartz glass and ceramics. In this paper, the mathematical model for the machining process of ECDM was established. Then, sets of experiments were carried out to investigate the machining l...
