This paper describes machining characteristics of high spindle speed WEDG using the electrostatic induction feeding method. In this method, non-contact electric feeding allows the workpiece rod to be rotated at a high speed of up to 50000rpm. Since the temperature rise on the workpiece surface is low, the material removal rate was two times higher and the surface roughness was also improved compared to the normal RC discharge circuit where the rotational speed was 1000rpm at the highest due to contact electric feeding using a brush. Furthermore, micro rods thus prepared were used as tool electrodes to machine micro-holes with the same rotation speed of 50000rpm. It was found that smaller gaps and better straightness can be obtained due to the high flushing efficiency at the high spindle speed.

In the micro EDM method by electrostatic induction feeding, a pulse generator is coupled to the tool electrode by a capacitor, since the negative influence of the stray capacitance in the circuit can be eliminated, and the discharge energy per pulse can be minimized, thereby realizing discharge craters of nanometer order. However, there is still the stray inductance in the discharge circuit, other than the stray capacitance. In this study, in order to examine the influence of the stray inductance, experimental investigation was conducted.

In the micro EDM method by electrostatic induction feeding, a pulse voltage source is coupled to the tool electrode by a capacitor in order to reduce the minimum discharge energy per pulse. Positive pulse voltage and negative pulse voltage are applied to the tool electrode alternately, relative to the workpiece. In this study, it was found that when the feeding capacitance was large, multiple discharges occurred frequently during a single pulse duration of the pulse voltage source. Since the impedance of the pulse voltage source which was produced by the authors varied depending on the polarity, the multiple discharges occurred in the polarity with the higher impedance, while they did not occur in the opposite polarity. It was also found that when multiple discharges occurred, the discharge energy was released intermittently in the multiple discharges. In this study, using multiple discharges phenomena, better surface was obtained with higher removal speed.

A purpose of the present study is to derive optimum study factors for removal of heavy metals using combined alternating current electric/magnetic field and electric membranes for the area contaminated with heavy metals in soil or underground water. ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) analysis was conducted to determine an intensity of tendency for oxidation or reduction of the samples contaminated with heavy metals, and electrical membrane treatment was used with adjustment of concentrations and voltages of liquid electrode (Na2SO4) to derive a high removal rate. Removal constants were analyzed to be 0.0417, 0.119, 0.1594 when the voltages were 5V, 10V, 15V, respectively, and treatment efficiency was shown to increase as the liquid electrode concentration was increased. Keywords: heavy metals, electric/magnetic field, ORP, electrical membrane

In this paper, Constrained Interpolated Profile Method (CIP) was used to simulate contaminants removal from square cavity in channel flow. Predictions were conducted for the range of aspect ratios from 0.25 to 4.0. The inlet parabolic flow with various Reynolds number from 50 to 1000 was used for the whole presentation with the same properties of contaminants and fluid. The obtained results indicated that the percentage of removal increased at high aspect ratio of cavity and higher Reynolds number of flow but it shows more significant changes as increasing aspect ratio rather than increasing Reynolds number. High removal rate was found at the beginning of the removal process.
