Emerging hybrid wire electro discharge turning for micro parts fabrication in the defence technological area: A feasibility study

Abstract

This study explores the feasibility of the hybrid wire electro discharge turning (HWEDT) process for the fabrication of micro components in the defence communication, surveillance and navigation technologies have clear developments for micro sized components that are mainly driven by advancements in micro sensors and microelectronics instruments. The rapid innovation in this sect technological development of micro micro-aerial vehicles (MAV) and micro specifications. From a manufacturing perspective, most of the parts fabrication that is precise, complex and leaves no room for error in the manufacturing process; which is perfect for HWEDT.
