About
K. Chandrasekaran is a prominent researcher in advanced manufacturing and materials processing, with a focus on electrical discharge machining (EDM) and the machining of composite materials. His work centers on optimizing non-conventional machining techniques for difficult-to-cut materials, particularly carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs), which are critical in aerospace and automotive industries. In his highly cited 2021 study, Chandrasekaran pioneered the addition of silicon carbide (SiC) powder to kerosene dielectric fluid for the blind square hole machining of CFRP using EDM. This innovative approach significantly improved material removal rates and surface quality, addressing key challenges in precision machining of composites. With over 30 citations, this work has influenced subsequent research in powder-mixed EDM and hybrid machining processes. Chandrasekaran’s contributions extend to exploring the interplay between process parameters and machining performance, offering practical insights for industrial applications. His research continues to drive advancements in sustainable and efficient manufacturing, making him a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking to understand the frontiers of non-traditional machining.
