The current study develops a numerical model to investigate the nanoindentation behavior of heat-affected zones (HAZ) on glass material produced via the electrochemical spark machining (ECSM) method. Initially, microchannels were created using the ECSM method on soda-lime glass. Following that, a nanoindentation test was conducted to quantify the Young's modulus and hardness of the glass sample.

In this study, rough tools were fabricated by a rotary mode multi tip electric discharge machining (RM-MT-EDM) process. The electrical characterization was also carried out to investigate the electric field intensity over the surface of tool electrode, and it was found that the use of rough tools improves the electric field intensity by 265.
