Research on Electrical Discharge Machining for Injection Mold of Automotive Connector

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) processing is generally applied on the area of molding plastic component or mating surface required high accuracy. The areas determine the quality of the plastic components. The principle of EDM is based on the material vaporization of high potential difference across the workpiece and Tool electrode. Tool electrode and workpieces are discontiguous when the EDM processes. Because there is no mechanical contact, Hardness and strength of the workpiece material have minimal effect on the material removal rate .The application of EDM technology on injection mold of automotive connector is focused on in this paper. Processing of the complex cores is researched. The design and processing of the tool electrode have been completed in the meantime.
