Dry electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a modification of the oil EDM process in which the liquid dielectric is replaced by a gaseous dielectric. This study investigates the effects of different types of gas (air, nitrogen, and mixture of argon/air) on the machining characteristics of dry EDM of M35 workpiece material. A Taguchi L27 orthogonal array design was applied to investigate the effects of six control factors, including current, pulse on-time, duty factor, gas pressure, electrode rotational speed and specifically type of gas on machining responses, including material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness, and radial overcut. Also, the surface integrity was investigated in different dielectric mediums. Results show that the argon/air mixture can improve the MRR with respect to air and nitrogen. The best dimensional accuracy can be obtained by using nitrogen as the dielectric medium. Also, the machined surface with nitrogen has the fewest small drops and the microcracks in Aagon/air mixture is more than those air one. So, the argon/air mixture is the best dielectric with respect to nitrogen and air mediums for dry EDM of high-speed steel M35.

Electrical discharge machining has the capability of machining all conductive materials regardless of hardness, and has the ability to deal with complex shapes. However, the speed and accuracy of conventional EDM are limited by probability and efficiency of the electrical discharges. This paper describes a three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) controlled, wide-bandwidth, high-precision, long-stroke magnetic drive actuator. The actuator can be attached to conventional electrical discharge machines to realize a high-speed and high-accuracy EDM. The actuator primarily consists of thrust and radial magnetic bearings, thrust and radial air bearings and a magnetic coupling mechanism. By using the thrust and radial magnetic bearings, the translational motions of the spindle can be controlled. The magnetic drive actuator possesses a positioning resolution of the order of micrometer, a bandwidth greater than 100Hz and a positioning stroke of 2mm.
