Abstract:Researchers are constantly developing processes aiming to improve the properties of metal surfaces, especially related to the wear resistance of components, as in the case of the nitrided layer obtained by die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM). Following this line of research, this work investigated the effects of sodium octaborate (Na 2 B 8 O 13 .4H 2 O), mixed into deionized water as a dielectric fluid on AISI 4140 steel surfaces machined by die-sinking EDM. An adapted EDM machine was employed in … Show more
