Micromachining Using Electrochemical Discharge Phenomenon, 2nd Edition

Preface

Since the publication of the first edition of this book an impressive amount of research on machining by electrochemical discharges has been conducted. Not only could a growing interest in academia be noted, but also from industry. In 2014, the Swiss company Posalux SA did bring to the market a first fully functional machine for microdrilling glass by electrochemical discharges.
