The best surface roughnessRa 0.2
Minimum electrode wear0.1%
Pulse power typeIsopulse power during discharge

Note that the roughness of Ra0.2 cannot be achieved by using 64 A current. In fact, the data in Table 1 are the limit performance index of GW735, which means the maximum current of the equipment can reach 64 A, and the maximum processing efficiency can reach 400 mm3/min under certain conditions, and the best surface roughness can reach Ra0.2 under another condition. Instead of using the same electrode, in the current work Ra0.2 is obtained using two sets of different electrodes.
