In all the cases, the discharge confinement effect is used for obtaining higher perforation densities than those found in the standard industrial processes. To quantify the efficiency of the proposed methods, statistical tools are used to characterize the 2-D perforation pattern.7eng© 2011 IEEE.Electrostatic dischargesElectrostatic perforationNeedle-like electrodesSparksEffect of the electric discharge confinement on the perforation density of porous materialsresearch articleMaterialeshttps://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2011.2168798open access236762373IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications47AR/0000026048
