Experimental study on wire-electrical discharge machining of zirconium-based metallic glass

In this paper, the new alloy material, zirconium-based bulk metallic glass (Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5), which is hard and brittle, was the research object. Since the process of wire-electrical discharge machining offers the advantage of processing hard and brittle conductive materials, the effects of discharge parameters on material removal rate, surface roughness, surface morphology, carbonization and crystallization have been studied by...
