Now-a-days, many sophisticated systems are available to monitor the process in real time that drastically reduce the cost and lead time to manufacture a part because it takes away the offline sampling. For Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), current signal monitors are very useful to predict the material removal rate and determine the arcing that can damage the surface. This paper discusses the design and development of an online monitoring for micro-EDM using correlation developed via experimentation. Surface roughness is predicted based on online monitoring.

The development of new, advanced engineering materials and the needs for precise and flexible prototype and low-volume production have made wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) an important manufacturing process to meet such demand. This research investigates the effect of spark on-time duration and spark on-time ratio, two important EDM process parameters, on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface integrity of four types of advanced material: porous metal foams, metal bond diamond grinding wheels, sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets, and carbon-carbon bipolar plates. An experimental procedure was developed. During the wire EDM, five types of constraints on the MRR due to short circuit, wire breakage, machine slide speed limit, and spark on-time upper and lower limits have been identified. An envelope of feasible EDM process parameters is created and compared across different work-materials. Applications of such process envelope to select process parameters for maximum MRR and for machining of micro features are presented.

The application of powder mixed dielectric to improve the efficiency of electrical discharge machining (EDM) has been acknowledged extensively. However, the study of micro-size powder suspension in micro-EDM field is still limited. In this research, nano and micro size powder of MoS2 were used as catalyst agent. Powder suspension in different size was able to provide significant improvement in material removal rate and surface quality to increase the efficiency in μ- EDM processes.

Cylindrical Wire

Results of applying the wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process to generate precise cylindrical forms on hard, difficult-to-machine materials are presented. The design of a precise, flexible, and corrosion-resistant underwater rotary spindle is first introduced. A detailed spindle error analysis identifies the major sources of error at different frequency spectrum. The spindle has been added to a conventional two-axis wire EDM machine to enable the generation of free-form cylindrical geometries. The mathematical model for material removal rate of the free-form cylindrical wire EDM process is derived. Experiments were conducted to explore the maximum material removal rate for cylindrical and 2D wire EDM of carbide and brass work-materials. Compared to the conventional 2D wire EDM of the same work-material, higher maximum material removal rates may be achieved in the cylindrical wire EDM, possibly due to better debris flushing condition.

Edm Process

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is an unconventional machining process used for machining of hard-to-cut materials. Both EDM and micro-EDM processes are extensively used for producing dies and molds, complex cavities, and 3D structures. In recent years, researchers have intensively focused on improving the performance of both micro-EDM and EDM processes. This paper reviews the research work carried out by the researchers on vibration-assisted EDM, micro-EDM, and wire EDM. The consolidated review of this research work enables better understanding of the vibration-assisted EDM process. This study also discusses the influence of vibration parameters such as vibration frequency and amplitude on the material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), and surface roughness (SR). The important issues and research gaps in the respective area of research are also presented in this paper.

In conventional electrical discharge machining (EDM), the workpiece material is considered as homogenous material. When a micro feature is machined in alloy by micro EDM, microstructure of alloy may be of the same order as the micro feature. This may lead to the variation of machining performance of micro EDM. This paper demonstrates the influence of material microstructure on the machining performance by drilling micro holes within the crystal grain and on the boundary of TA0-1. Experimental results indicate that the average values of material removal rate, tool wear ratios and the discharge gaps on different locations are different because their material properties are different.

Edm Process

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-conventional manufacturing process of removing materials. The uniqueness of EDM process is the removal of the unwanted materials without direct contact between the electrode and workpiece. EDM power generator provides power source of EDM system. It supplies voltage and current to produce spark erosion. Power supply and pulse generator are two important parts in EDM power generator. By choosing the proper power supply and pulse generator to the application, a great result for Material Removal Rate (MRR) can be achieved. Efficiency of EDM power generator depends on the configurations of power supply used. This study reviews and summarizes some previous development of EDM power generator and their effectiveness.
