Thank you for the response. Yes, I am very much aware of wire EDM and same kind of discharge damage is widely studied in lubricated contact in context of electrical damage in rolling-element bearings. Part of my research is to compare the damage in bearing to that observed in EDM. In my setup...

I am a mechanical engineer researching electrical damage in lubricated contacts. In my tests, I apply 18V DC across a steel ball-disc contact with an elastohydrodynamic lubrication film (more simply an oil film between 600-900 nanometers in thickness) between the surfaces. This film, according...
