Abstract:

By analyzing the geometry of craters in a single pulse, the model of surface roughness in EDM was established and the main factors impacting on surface roughness were analyzed. On the base of establishment of the roughness model, the effect of discharge parameters on surface roughness was investigated by the process test method during the process of aluminum alloy 2A12 in EDM. At the same time, surface morphology obtained by different discharge parameters was comparatively analyzed. The results show that the effect of peak current and pulse width on the surface roughness is more significant, the crater on the machined surface has larger size while using higher peak current and pulse width, but the number of discharge craters is reduced.
