Many industrial domains exploit this technology to fabricate highly demanding components, such as high-aspect-ratio micro holes for fuel injectors, high-precision molds, and biomedical parts.Moreover, the continuous trend towards miniaturization and high precision functional components boosted the development of control strategies and optimization methodologies specifically suited to address the challenges in micro- and nano-scale fabrication.This Special Issue showcases 12 research papers and a review article focusing on novel methodological developments on several aspects of micro electrical discharge machining: machinability studies of hard materials (TiNi shape memory alloys, Si3N4–TiN ceramic composite, ZrB2-based ceramics reinforced with SiC fibers and whiskers, tungsten-cemented carbide, Ti-6Al-4V alloy, duplex stainless steel, and cubic boron nitride), process optimization adopting different dielectrics or electrodes, characterization of mechanical performance of processed surface, process analysis, and optimization via discharge pulse-type discrimination, hybrid processes, fabrication of molds for inflatable soft microactuators, and implementation of low-cost desktop micro-EDM system.Micro-Electro Discharge MachiningTechnology: general issuesbicsscelectrodischarge micromachiningdrillingcubic boron nitridefoil queue microelectrodemicro-EDMstep effecttapered structurewire electrical discharge grinding (WEDG)micromouldingsoft microroboticselectrical discharge machining (EDM)Tungsten cemented carbide (WC-Co)desktop micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM) systemcut-side micro-toolmicro-holesEDMSRTWRPMEDMMRRelectro-discharge treatmentTi-6Al-4VMWCNTssurface characterizationwear resistancecorrosion resistancecomposite 3D microelectrodediffusion bondingstep3D microstructurematerial processingDSS-2205 alloyelectric-discharge machiningsurface integritysurface wettabilityceramic compositemicro-EDM millingpulse discriminationMicro-electro-discharge machining (μEDM)liquid-metal electrodeGalinstanZirconium Boridesilicon carbide fiberssilicon carbide whiskersadvanced materialTiNi shape memory alloyTiC powdersurface modificationmicrohardnesselectrochemical discharge machininglaser machiningglassmicro-grooveTechnology: general issuesFassi Ireneedt760119Modica FrancescoedtFassi IreneothModica FrancescoothBOOK9910557350403321Micro-Electro Discharge Machining: Principles, Recent Advancements and Applications3031998UNINA
