By using porous tungsten as the tool electrode, a processed surface with a higher hardness was achieved. In addition, the lower the relative density, the higher was the Vickers hardness of the processed surface. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) sintered tungsten was used, and it was observed that the larger the discharge current, and the larger the powder particle size of the SPS sintered tungsten was, the higher was the Vickers hardness of the processed surface.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126058265","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}

A 2D transient fmite element analysis has been developed to calculate the temperature distribution, the aluminum concentration profile and the melting depth inside titanium material. The obtained results reveal that the melt-solid interface velocity (vm ) as well as the particle diffusion velocity (vp ) plays a major role in determining the resulting diffusion profile. Computations make it possible to control whether to obtain a step-like or smooth diffusion profile, this by selecting the appropriate laser power density, the overlayer thickness and the laser interaction time with the work piece.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127612266","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 oxidization of the dielectric oil facilitates the machining process depending on working time. When oxidized dielectric oil is used in EDM, metal elements in the electrode and workpiece react with the oxidized oil, and organometallic compounds are consequently formed. Several organometallic compounds have lipophilic property and dissolve in dielectric oil. This indicates that some debris from the electrode or workpiece metal can be dissolved in dielectric oil. Accordingly, by actively utilizing the reactions between organometallic compounds, some debris from the electrode or workpiece can be dissolved in dielectric oil. This would result in a decrease in the amount of debris and provide stability to EDM.","PeriodicalId":407646,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Machining","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126919495","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}
