New Science-Intensive Technologies for Electrophysical and Chemical Treatment of Aerospace Parts
The paper examines effective hybrid technologies that combine electrophysical and electrochemical methods and enable treatment of parts with different nomenclature. New treatment methods, electrophysical and chemical, are pre-defined for processing conductive materials. By introducing combined treatment methods that bring together ultrasound, electrochemistry and electrical discharge it is possible to boost the treatment process, solve fundamental process tasks that are demanded by industry, and improve the quality of the treated surface. An analysis of the electrical discharge drilling method with an ultrasonic field activation is carried out. The disadvantages of the combined treatment method with the application of ultrasonic oscillations to workpiece are identified. Recommendations are given on determining and justifying the effective application of each method by taking into account the degree of complexity of the treated objects, the materials used and the type of appropriate production. A hybrid electrochemical-electrical discharge CNC machine is developed.
