This work highlights the usefulness of multi‐scale‐fractal and surface‐texture analysis in the machining of cemented carbide cutting edge by electrolytic‐abrasive honing (EAH) process. In order to achieve this, a fresh (untreated) cutting edge sample and the same sample after machining by electrolyt...
