An in-situ composite of copper and tungsten carbide powder was prepared by mechanical alloying of elemental powder. The sample has been milled in a high-energy ball mill for 20 h at different milling speed i.e. 100, 200, 300 and 400 rpm in an argon atmosphere. Investigations in terms of microstructural features and phase constitution of in-situ composites powder were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At higher milling speed, W2C is found to be precipitated with a small amount of WC was formed. Crystallite size of copper is reducing while internal strain is increasing with increasing milling speed.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is widely used to process hard materials in the industry. The process of electrical discharge is changed and called PMEDM when alloy powder is added in the oil dielectric. In the current study, the effect of tungsten carbide alloy powder added in the dielectric on the surface roughness (Ra) and the micro hardness of surface (HV) status of the workpiece SKD61 after machining is investigated. Studies show that the surface roughness and the micro hardness of surface obtained by PMEDM is generally better than that by normal EDM. The method can be applied for improving surface quality such as improving strengthening of molds and machine parts.
