Edm Process

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the earliest non-traditional machining processes. EDM process is based on thermoelectric energy between the work piece and an electrode. There are various types of products which can be produced by using the EDM such as dies and moulds. Today many parts used in aerospace and automotive industry and also final processes of surgical components can be finished by EDM process. A simple and easily understandable model was proposed for predicting the relative importance of different factors (composition of the steels and Electro Discharge Machining processing conditions) in order to obtain an efficient pieces. A detail application on the tool steels machined by EDM was given in this study. This model is based on thermal, metallurgical and mechanical and also in situ test conditions. It gives detail information on the effect of electrochemical parameters on the surface integrity and sub-surface damage of the material (Heat Affected Zone, HAZ), the level of residual stresses, and the surface texture. This approach is an efficient way to separate the responsibilities of the steel maker and machining process designer for increasing the reliability of the machined structures.

The development of new, advanced engineering materials and the needs for precise and flexible prototype and low-volume production have made wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) an important manufacturing process to meet such demand. This research investigates the effect of spark on-time duration and spark on-time ratio, two important EDM process parameters, on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface integrity of four types of advanced material: porous metal foams, metal bond diamond grinding wheels, sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets, and carbon-carbon bipolar plates. An experimental procedure was developed. During the wire EDM, five types of constraints on the MRR due to short circuit, wire breakage, machine slide speed limit, and spark on-time upper and lower limits have been identified. An envelope of feasible EDM process parameters is created and compared across different work-materials. Applications of such process envelope to select process parameters for maximum MRR and for machining of micro features are presented.

Die assembly is a kind of special tools for fabrication of metal or non-metallic materials parts with required design and purpose. Generally, the high material hardness for die assembly should be selected to increase the service life and reduce the cost in manufactory industry. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a suitable method for fabrication of die assembly as the material remove in EDM process mainly depends on the material's thermal characteristics, regardless of the hardness. In this paper, the machining strategies for fabrication of die assembly with typical shaped cavity using EDM were discussed, according to the different cavity structures, the best machining strategies were proposed
