Ebook: Micromachining Using Electrochemical Discharge Phenomenon - Fundamentals and Applications of Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving

This book explains the fundamentals of SACE, promotes the technology, and encourages researchers and engineers from industry to use it for their specific applications. Therefore, the book, after presenting in details the fundamentals of SACE (in particular the Electrochemical Discharges), deals mainly with practical aspects of implementing the machining technology. The book is written so that researchers from fields other than micro-technology (e.g., life sciences) will be able to build a simple machining set-up with their mechanical work-shop for individual needs.
