Abstract
The present study investigated a hybrid electrical discharge machining (h-EDM) process for producing functionally graded titanium surface. Herein, a stream of hydroxyapatite/titanium oxide abrasive slurry jet has been supplied, through a specially designed tool, to the ionized zone created by the EDM process, and the abrasive particles were finally directed towards the melted region of titanium through ultrasonically produced kinetic energy. The finally produced functionally graded surfaces have been characterized through microscopic analysis to assess the efficacy of the as-produced surfaces. The results highlighted that the abrasive particles have been successfully embedded into the surfaces. The proposed hybrid technology could be used for various engineering applications, including automotive and biomedical sectors.
