The properties of this method are compared with those of a conventional low-voltage pulsed ECM method using a 0.3 mm φ electrode. We found that this method enables us to machine a workpiece using ECM conditions that are difficult to use in the conventional ECM method, such as low electrolyte concentration and low pulse duty ratio. This method also enable us to machine a workpiece without strong flushing. The machining speed of this method is increased almost 3-6 times that of the conventional ECM method. A small side gap width comparable to the gap width of EDM is achieved using a low-density NaNO 3 electrolyte.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115991489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piano wire with a very high tensile strength is coated with an electrically conductive brass layer to achieve high-speed and high-precision wire EDM. In our previous papers, using a thin wire of 50 µ m diameter, the thickness and quality of the brass coating layer were optimized and the effects of the tensile strength of the piano wire used as the core wire on machining characteristics were discussed. In this paper, the effect of surface roughness of the brass wire electrode was experimentally investigated. As a result, it was found that by using wire with relatively large surface roughness, the machining rate increased because of the high discharge frequency. Also, a more uniform distribution of the discharge location was confirmed by high-speed observation of the working gap during the process. In addition, the electrostatic field in the gap between the wire electrode and workpiece surface was analyzed and the reason for the high machining rate in case of the wire with relatively large surface roughness was discussed from the viewpoint of the distribution of electric intensity distribution on the wire surface.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115073227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increases with the load, and is about the same as, or less than, the wear of the hard layers formed with CVD when the load is below 19.6 N. The hard layers formed with EDM have a slightly smaller friction coefficient than hard layers formed by CVD or PVD, indicating that the hard layer has no effect on lubrication.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125123167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research is to find out the reason for such a phenomenon. At first, the energy distributed into anode and cathode in the case of the single discharge process is obtained by means of measuring the temperature rise and removal amount of electrodes. Then the influence of the carbon adhesion onto the anode surface on the anode removal amount is investigated. It is found that the energy distributed into the anode is more than that into the cathode, and the influence of pulse duration on the energy distribution is small. Besides, it is concluded from the experimental results that the removal amount difference between anode and cathode in the EDM process is mainly caused by carbon adhesion, not by the energy distribution.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130092048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
