Pulse On Time

This study developed a micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM) system for producing TiO2 nanocolloids. When a proportional–integral–derivative controller designed using the Ziegler–Nichols method was adopted to control the interelectrode gap, TiO2 nanocolloids were obtained from spark discharges generated between two titanium wires immersed in deionized water. For a pulse on time–off time of 40–40 μs and a colloid production time of 100 min, TiO2 nanocolloids were produced that had an absorbance of 1.511 at a wavelength of 245 nm and a ζ potential of −47.2 mV. They had an average particle diameter of 137.2 nm, and 64.2% of particles were smaller than 91.28 nm. The minimum particles were spherical. The characteristics of colloids confirmed that the micro-EDM system can produce TiO2 nanocolloids with excellent suspension stability. The colloid production method proposed in this study has the advantages of low equipment cost and no dust diffusion in the process environment. These advantages can improve the competitiveness of the electric spark discharge method for high-quality TiO2 nanoparticle production. The colloids produced in this study did not contain elements other than titanium and oxygen, and they may prevent secondary environmental pollution.

A reversible machining method using micro electrical discharge machining (EDM) was developed. This new method can achieve depositing or selective removing of metal material for the fabrication of micro structures. It is easy to transform the machining process from deposition to removal in one EDM machining system. In micro EDM deposition process, brass, tungsten and steel material can be deposited successfully. The deposited material has compact fine texture and combines close to workpiece. Then, micro complex structures by series deposition strategy and sub-deposition strategy were deposited. In the selective removal process, the machining effects of different working mediums were researched. Results show that the machining effect in liquid medium is better than that of in air. Finally, using the micro reversible EDM process, a micro square column with 0.070mm in side length, 0.750mm in height and a micro cylinder with 0.140mm in diameter, 1.180mm in height were fabricated.

Based on the principle of micro electrical discharge machining (EDM), a reversible machining method is proposed, which can achieve depositing or removing selectively metal material for the fabrication of micro structures. It is easy to transform the machining process from deposition to removal in one machining system. The characteristics of the deposited material show that the components of deposited material are almost the same as those of the tool electrode, and the metallurgical bonding has formed on the interface between the deposited material and the base. Moreover, the deposited material has well machinability in different micro EDM selective removal process, including micro EDM die-sinking and micro EDM milling. As a result, a micro square column with 0.1mm in side length, 0.88mm in height and a micro cylinder with 0.14mm in diameter, 1.18mm in height were fabricated by using the micro reversible EDM process.

The micro-electrical discharge machining process is hindered by low material removal rate and low surface quality, which bound its capability. The assistance of ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force in micro-electrical discharge machining helps to overcome this limitation and increase the stability of the machining process. In the present research, an attempt has been made on Taguchi based GRA optimization for µEDM assisted with ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force while µEDM of SKD-5 die steel with the tubular copper electrode. The process parameters such as ultrasonic vibration, magnetic pulling force, tool rotation, energy and feed rate have been chosen as process variables. Material removal rate and taper of the feature have been selected as response measures. From the experimental study, it has been found that response output measures have been significantly improved by 18% as compared to non assisted µEDM. The best optimal combination of input parameters for improved performance measures were recorded as machining with ultrasonic vibration (U1), 0.25 kgf of magnetic pulling force (M1), 600 rpm of tool rotation (R2), 3.38 mJ of energy (E3) and 1.5 mm/min of Tool feed rate (F3). The confirmation trail was also carried out for the validation of the results attained by Grey Relational Analysis and confirmed that there is a substantial improvement with both assistance applied simultaneously.
