Most wire or string is made with a circular cross section of some particular radius and diameter. The area of that cross section is the well known A = pi*R² which is colloquially pronounced as “pie ...

A second experiment can be carried out to investigate experimentally how the resistance of a metallic conductor at constant temperature depends on the area of cross section. The above experiment is ...

A lot has been accomplished in recent years to make wire EDM more efficient and reliable, but little has been done to make it faster. A big part of that limitation is just physics. A standard 0.010” ...

Encapsulated cross-section methods commence by mounting a cross-sectional sample into an epoxy or acrylic mold compound, conventionally around 1 inch in diameter, and surrounding the selected device, ...
