On Correlation of Pulses and Tool Elongations at Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining Aided by Ultrasonics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with Finite Element Method (FEM) of thermal and mechanical-hydraulic components of material removal mechanism at micro-electrical discharge machining aided by ultrasonics (μEDM+US), due to EDM and US contribution. The dimensions of craters produced by single discharges under μEDM+US conditions are determined with different pulse durations in order to establish a machining strategy with correlation of pulses and tool elongations.
