Enhancing the Surface Quality by Iso Pulse Generator in EDM Process

Abstract:

In automobile and aeronautical industries, complex moulds and dies is produced by Electrical Discharge Machining process. The surface finish is determined by the crater volume in EDM process. The amount of crater volume is influenced by the amount and distribution of discharge energy. The discharge energy is directly proportional to the average discharge current. This amount of current is determined by the duration of discharging effect. This study deals about evaluating the performance of iso current pulse generator on machining characteristics in EDM. Due to its ability of reducing stochastic nature in EDM process, iso pulse generator could produce better surface finish than conventional transistor pulse train generator with higher material removal rate.
