Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718 (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell-Smith, J., Murray, J., Kunieda, M., & Clare, A. Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718. Presented at 10th International Symposium on Electrochemical Machining Technology (INSECT 2014)

Electrolyte jet machining is an emerging non-conventional machining process which is capable of selectively applying multi-scale surface textures. Surfaces processed in this way do not suffer from thermal damage and hence this technique is highly sui... Read More about Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718.
