“…This process was repeated a few times and an alloy ingot in a cylinder shape of 9 mm diameter and 60 mm length was fabricated. Thus fabricated ingot was sectioned to five columns 9 mm high and they are named specimens D, E, F, G and H from the top to the bottom (In a previous report, 23) specimens made in a similar manner were named specimens A, B, and C). Primarily employed in the present study was specimen D, which was wire-electro-discharge machined into four rectangular-shaped compression specimens with dimensions of 2.7 mm  2.7 mm  9 mm.…”
