In the paper, in order to overcome machining limits in throughput and precision because of positioning error and tool wear of a single tool electrode, a method for the microelectrode array fabrication by micro-WEDM is described and assessed. Characteristics of the microelectrode array fabrication by micro-WEDM, such as machining open voltage, pulse peak current, discharge duration and servo feed rate so on, are investigated through a series of experiments. A 10 10 squared electrode array is machined by micro-WEDM and the width of each squared electrode is about 40µm. The microelectrode array with good quality is obtained by applying decreased open voltage and peak current, increased discharge duration and optimized machining speed. Then micro hole-array is processed by applying obtained electrode array in micro-EDM method. The diameter of each squared hole in the array is about 50 µm due to appropriate control strategy that per micro pulse energy is decreased and periodic jump-down is applied during the machining process. Experiments have demonstrated that the combination process of microelectrode array fabricated by micro-WEDM and micro-hole array done by micro-EDM is a novel method of process which makes it more feasible and efficient to fabricate microelectrode array and high-density hole-array.

Background: Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) milling is widely used in the processing of complex cavities and micro-three-dimensional structures, which is a more effective processing method for micro-precision parts. Thus, more attention has been paid on the micro-EDM milling. Objective : To meet the increasing requirement of machining quality and machining efficiency of micro- EDM milling, the processing devices and processing methods of micro-EDM milling are being improved continuously. Methods: This paper reviews various current representative patents related to the processing devices and processing methods of micro-EDM milling. Results: Through summarizing a large number of patents about processing devices and processing methods of micro-EDM milling, the main problems of current development, such as the strategy of electrode wear compensation and the development trends of processing devices and processing methods of micro-EDM milling are discussed. Conclusion: The optimization of processing devices and processing methods of micro-EDM milling are conducive to solving the problems of processing efficiency and quality. More relevant patents will be invented in the future.
