This paper presents the estimation of kerf width in micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro WEDM) in terms of machining parameters of capacitance and gap voltage. An empirical model is developed by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) of experimental data. Using a wire electrode of 70 µm diameter, a minimum kerf width is found to be 92 µm for the micro WEDM parameters of 0.01 µF capacitance and 90.25 V gap voltage. Around 30% increament of the kerf is found to be high. The analysis also revealed that the capacitance is more influential parameter than gap voltage on kerf width produced by micro WEDM. As the gap voltage determines the breakdown distance and affects the wire vibration, the wire vibration factor is to be considered in the analysis and in formulation of model in future study.

AbstractA long piece of magnetic material shaped as a central cylindrical wire (diameter $$d=50$$ d = 50 nm) with two wider coaxial cylindrical portions (diameter $$D=90$$ D = 90 nm and thickness $$t=100$$ t = 100 nm) defines a bimodulated nanowire. Micromagnetism is invoked to study the equilibrium energy of the system under the variations of the positions of the modulations along the wire. The system can be thought of as composed of five independent elements (3 segments and 2 modulations) leading to $$2^5=32$$ 2 5 = 32 possible different magnetic configurations, which will be later simplified to 4. We investigate the stability of the configurations depending on the positions of the modulations. The relative chirality of the modulations has negligible contributions to the energy and they have no effect on the stability of the stored configuration. However, the modulations are extremely important in pinning the domain walls that lead to consider each segment as independent from the rest. A phase diagram reporting the stability of the inscribed magnetic configurations is produced. The stability of the system was then tested under the action of external magnetic fields and it was found that more than 50 mT are necessary to alter the inscribed information. The main purpose of this paper is to find whether a prototype like this can be complemented to be used as a magnetic key or to store information in the form of firmware. Present results indicate that both possibilities are feasible.

Wire electrical discharge machining has appeared mainly in response to the need for detachment with sufficiently high accuracy of parts of plate-type workpieces. The improvements introduced later allowed the extension of this machining technology to obtain more complex ruled surfaces with increasingly high requirements regarding the quality of the machined surfaces and the productivity of the wire electrical discharge machining process. Therefore, it was normal for researchers to be interested in developing more and more in-depth investigations into the various aspects of wire electrical discharge machining. These studies focused first on improving the machining equipment, wire electrodes, and the devices used to position the clamping of a wire electrode and workpiece. A second objective pursued was determining the most suitable conditions for developing the machining process for certain proper situations. As output parameters, the machining productivity, the accuracy, and roughness of the machined surfaces, the wear of the wire electrode, and the changes generated in the surface layer obtained by machining were taken into account. There is a large number of scientific papers that have addressed issues related to wire electrical discharge machining. The authors aimed to reveal the aspects that characterize the process, phenomena, performances, and evolution trends specific to the wire electrical discharge machining processes, as they result from scientific works published mainly in the last two decades.

Recently, ingots of silicon carbide have been adapted to be sliced by the wire-cut electrical discharge machining. Fast slicing, and the reduction in the loss are important for slicing of the wafer. In this paper, characteristic features of the electric discharge machining in the ion-exchange water and the fluorine-based fluid were compared for these improvement. The discharge was caused by a pulse voltage applied to a ingot of silicon carbide and the wire in machining fluid, and the slicing was proceeded. As a result, improvement of surface roughness and kerf loss was confirmed, for the first time. In addition, the improving methods for fast slicing were considered.

The wire electrodischarge grinding (WEDG), which is one of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) methods, of submicron-diameter zinc micropins was attempted using a relaxation-type pulse generator. Tungsten wire of 30 µm diameter was employed as the tool electrode. The open-circuit voltage was set at lower than or equal to 15 V in the finish machining step. The electrostatic capacitance of the pulse generator was its stray capacitance only. As a result, a micropin of 0.3 µm diameter was processed. They are the smallest-diameter micropins fabricated by EDM, to the best of our knowledge.

The wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) has been widely used in the field of metal cutting, mold industry, aerospace and so on. However, in the discharge machining, it is very important to restrain the wire-tool vibration for the improvement of machining accuracy. In this paper, it is created a model of the wire vibration with double-ended fixed, established the differential equation of vibration, and derived its full theoretical solution to analysis the vibration factors. Simulations of the wire vibration with ANSYS Transient dynamics analysis were given. An orthogonal design of the wire vibration using L9 orthogonal table was made, and the experiment found that minimize the servo voltage, reduce the pulse width, and select the appropriate wire tension and pulse interval, which can reduce the wire vibration.

Abstract Surface machined by high-speed wire electrical discharge machining (HS-WEDM) at super-high thickness (more than 1000 mm) cutting suffers from uneven surface, a major problem that has been investigated in this paper. According to the analysis, as wire frame span increases, the rigidity of the wire electrode decreases, and under the action of discharge explosive force, wire electrode vibration intensifies. As a result, the machining stability inevitably decreases. However, the core problem is whether there is enough working fluid in the slit to dampen and absorb the vibration of the wire electrode so as to ensure the positional stability of the wire electrode. To verify the above point of view: first, the wire guide and gravity take-up with bidirectional tension in the wire feeding system were installed to improve the positional accuracy of the wire electrode; second, to improve the flow of the working fluid into the slit, the slit width was increased by improving the working fluid and a medium carrier with a higher melting point and vaporization point can reduce the vaporization of the working fluid in the slit as much as possible. The experiment showed that the outlet flow of the improved working fluid is 56.72% higher than that of the original working fluid when cutting a 750 mm thick workpiece, which increases the damping and vibration absorption effect of the working fluid on the wire electrode in the long and narrow gap. After the above measures were implemented, super-high thickness cutting can be carried out continuously and steadily, the surface evenness was significantly improved, and the workpiece with a thickness of 2000 mm was cut successfully.
