Micromachines (Basel)
June 2023
SiCp/Al composites have excellent physical properties and are widely used in aerospace and other fields. Because of their poor machinability, they are often machined by non-traditional machining methods such as electrical discharge machining (EDM). In the process of EDM, due to the "shielding" effect of the reinforced particles of SiC, the local ejection force is low during the processing process, and it is difficult to throw the reinforced particles smoothly, which ultimately leads to a low material removal rate and poor surface quality.
