The article deals with long-length tubular electrode-tools made of the engineered composite [(WC+3wt%Co)+3wt%BN)]+14wt%Cu, which, during electrical discharge piercing of holes in a hard alloy WC+6wt%Co (ISO 513:2012) in the optimal mode, have a productivity that is almost 8 times higher than the productivity of the process, when it is performed using copper electrode-tools. Therewith, electrical discharge wear of the electrode-tools made of the new material is 4.1 ... 4.5 times less than the wear of the copper electrode-tools. To obtain hollow electrodetools from the specified material, the powder composition was radially molded by the pressure of a impulsed magnet field, and the resulting porous blank was impregnated with copper during its further sintering.

Different Diameters

A new method was adopted in this study to machine C/SiC composite. The machinability was studied by processing some shapes in the material in this way. Small deep holes were machined firstly to test whether the copper electrode was suitable enough to be adopted in the Electrical Discharge Machining. Then holes of different diameters were processed by two kinds of electrodes to study the more appropriate electrode material by comparing machining efficiency of two electrodes. Then complicated shapes were machined based on these conditions. Finally, a simulation model was built up to study the influence of the fluid on the electrode and the workpiece in the Fluent 6.3. According to the study, Electrical Discharge Machining Technology is suitable enough to machine the hard and brittle materials like C/SiC composite and the accuracy that the error should not exceed 0.5 mm can also be guaranteed well.

Adequate Data

The article is related to the research of the parameters of vibroacoustic emission for development of the monitoring and adaptive control system for electrical discharge machining. The classical control system based on a response of electrical parameters does not give an adequate data in the cases of a new class of materials processing as conductive ceramics reinforced by conductive nano additives and carbon nanotubes and whiskers. The idle pulses, which are working on the destruction of the erosion products in the gap, count as working pulses. The application of the monitoring and control tools based on vibroacoustic emission gives adequate data about conditions in the working zone. The developed system is available to count only impulses involved in working on the destruction of the workpiece. The experiments were conducted on the samples of materials with a low melting point as austenitic steel and aluminum alloy, and hard alloys. The records of vibroacoustic signals were analyzed for detection of the monitoring and adaptive control criteria.

This research aimed to study the machining efficiency of AISI P20 steel by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) using rod copper electrode to machining material by 50 mm depth of machining was mainly assessed from Materials Removal Rate (MRR) and Electrode Wear Ratio (EWR). From the experiment designed to use Taguchi technique of data analysis and suitable parameter prediction, the highest MRR was at on-time of 150 μs, off-time of 2 μs and electric current level was at 15 A or 0.25 A/mm2. Predicted value was at 19.2395 mm3/min which was equal to real experiment, showing Materials Removal Rate of 19.647 mm3/min (with error of 2.12 percent) .Moreover, it was found that gap would increase with the size of electrode and depth of machining caused by movement of particles removed from side surface of electrode, which cause micro sparks at the side of the material workpiece.

In this study, input parameters of Electrical Discharge machining (EDM) process have been optimised for two different materials EN-8 and Die steel-D3 were machined by using sintered copper electrode. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to study the influences of process parameters viz: - peak current, pulse on time, di-electric pressure and diameter of electrode on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR) for both materials. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to optimise the multi responses in order to get maximum MRR, minimum TWR and minimum SR. Furthermore, mathematical model has been formulated to estimate the corresponding output responses for both work pieces. It has been observed that compared to EN 8 material, the MRR value is low and TWR is high for D3 material. However the SR value is marginally lower than obtained in EN8.R2 value is above 0.90 for both work pieces.

Two kinds of electrode materials common used in EDM are compared and analyses similarities and differences in structure and physical characteristics. Combined with PcBN tool machining tests, from the electric discharge machining efficiency, electrode wear, tool surface quality, tool surface degenerating layer, machining results are in analysis and comparison, and then different electrode materials machining technics in electrical discharge machining process are summarized. Through the cutting tool electric discharge machining experiments, we can know that the graphite electrode easy to take shape, suits in the complex edge's cutting tool electric discharge machining, under the same electric discharge machining parameter condition, its processing efficiency must be higher than the copper electrode, but the electrode loses, the cutting tool surface quality and affect layer thickness are to be worse than the copper electrode.
