Productivity of EDM Process Assisted by Ultrasonic Waves

Abstract:

Ultrasonic assisted electrical discharge machining (USEDM) is one of hybrid machining methods based on the EDM process. The effects of ultrasonic waves on EDM process were analyzed and the experimental investigation of productivity of steel induced by USEDM was reported. Results indicated that ultrasonic waves and cavitation played an important role in improving the flushing and machining efficiency during USEDM. And the material removal rate of EDM assisted by ultrasonic waves was improved greatly.
