- Micro electrical discharge machining (μ-EDM) stands out as a widely employed non-traditional machining process with diverse applications in microfluidics, electronics, medical, aeronautics, and the automotive industry. This study is dedicated to the exploration of the single spark μ-EDM process utilizing a titanium tool electrode fabricated using a μm-turning process. Intriguingly, it is established that achieving a single spark necessitates a minimum tool diameter of 8 μm. Further, the effect of critical parameters such as voltage and capacitance on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), as well as the shape and size of the resultant craters is investigated. A 7 μm tool electrode when subjected to a voltage of 100 V and a capacitance of 33 pF manifests a remarkably refined surface finish, demonstrating controlled erosion on the workpiece surface. The study also indicates that MRR and TWR vary exponentially with supplied discharge energy. This comprehensive analysis not only identifies optimal conditions for μm turning during tool fabrication but also elucidates the prerequisites for generating a controlled single spark during workpiece erosion. In essence, the findings presented here contribute valuable insights to the advancement of precision μ-EDM processes.

- Aligning anisotropic nanoparticles using external fields is one of the major obstacles to unlocking their enormous potential for novel applications. The most famous such example is graphene, a 2D family of nanomaterials that has received enormous attention since its discovery. Using graphene to enhance mechanical, thermal, electric or gas barrier properties, imparting antibacterial properties etc., relies to a great extent on the ability to control their orientation inside a matrix material, i.e., polymers. Here we summarize the latest advances on graphene orientation using magnetic fields. The review covers the underlying physics for graphene interaction with magnetic fields, theoretical continuum mechanics framework for inducing orientation, typical magnetic field orientation setups, and a summary of latest advances in their use to enhance the performance of materials. Current trends, limitations of current alignment techniques are highlighted and major challenges in the field are identified.
