The Deposition and Removal Process for Micro Machining Based on Electrical Discharge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the analysis of electrical discharge process characteristics, the principle of achieving deposition process and removal process using micro EDM is proposed. By controlling the tool electrode wear in one micro EDM system, it is easy to achieve the different machining type of deposition or removal process. Centering on the problem of tool electrode wear, the process conditions of the deposition and removal including machining polarity, machining dielectric medium, discharge parameters and the tool electrode rotation are researched detailedly. Results show that under the discharge phenomena between electrodes, metal material can be deposited to form micro structures, and the transfer strategy from deposition to removal process can be controlled easily. The machining procedure for fabrication of micro structures based on depostion and removal process are put forward. And finally, some examles with well shape and dimension accuracy are given to validate the processing ability for micro machining.
