SiC is an advanced ceramic which finds wide range of industrial applications. Cutting of SiC is difficult using conventional machining methods due to its low fracture toughness. In the past few years, researchers have claimed successful machining of SiC using EDM process. Furthermore, increasing trend for miniaturization in MEMS and semiconductor industry has necessitated the development of micro-machining...
