ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING – A HIGH FUTURE NONCONVENTIONAL PROCESSING PROCESS

Abstract

Electrical discharge machining is one of the most common processes for processing metallic materials. This process is characterized by the lack of mechanical pressure on the object that ensures the macroscopic location of the erosive agent. This scientific paper highlights a study based on experimental data processing as well as modeling the most important technological parameters for dimensional processing by electrical discharge machining with and without magnetic activation. In this context, the modeling and optimization of process parameters is approached, which can lead to the quality increasing of the processed surface, to an increase of the processing productivity and to a reduction of the volume wear of the transfer object used.
