Finishing performance of die-sinking EDM with ultrasonic vibration and powder addition through pulse train studies

Abstract

Die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM) is widely used in die and mold-making industry. Finish EDM conditions are often selected to produce good quality surfaces. Attempts to enhance the finishing capabilities using ultrasonic vibration and powder-added dielectric medium have been reported in the literature. However, the changes in the gap phenomena with ultrasonic assistance and powder addition have not been analyzed. In this article, finish EDM of hardened D3 steel has been carried out based on full factorial design of experiment with three levels of setting voltage, setting current and pulse on time. The performance of ultrasonic assisted and graphite powder-added EDM are evaluated by analyzing the voltage and current pulse trains in finishing operation for the first time. Based on two new parameters, namely energy expended over a second (E) and ratio of energy due to sparks in relation to total discharge energy (PF), the results are discussed and also compared with those obtained with conventional EDM for selected conditions. Even though E of 102.9 J (PF?=?0.862) with ultrasonic vibration is higher than E of 43.0 J (PF?=?1.0) with powder mix, the molten metal is removed effectively from the gap by ultrasonic vibration which results in a relatively better surface. The micrographs of cross-section and surface of the workpieces obtained using optical and scanning electron microscopes, respectively, also reveal their relative performance.

Feasibility study of micro-slit EDM machining using pure water

This study addresses micro-slit EDM machining feasibility using pure water as the dielectric fluid. Experimental results revealed that pure water could be used as a dielectric fluid and adopting negative polarity EDM machining could obtain high material removal rate (MRR), low electrode wear, small slit expansion, and little machined burr, compared to positive polarity machining. In comparing kerosene versus pure water, pure water was observed to cause low carbon adherence to the electrode surface. Also discharge energy does not decrease and the discharge processes are not interrupted. Therefore, MRR was higher, and related electrode wear ratio compared to kerosene use was lower. In a continual EDM with multi-slit machining, kerosene will cause carbon element adherence, creating an initially high MRR and electrode wear, with rapid decline. However, pure water will not cause carbon element adherence on the electrode surface, so MRR and electrode wear is always stable in this process.

A study on the mirror surface machining by using a micro-energy EDM and the electrophoretic deposition polishing

In order to achieve a mirror-like workpiece surface by EDM, a micro-energy EDM or a manual lapping is normally used. However, both methods are time consuming and economically unattractive. To have better performance, a sinking EDM machine was first used in this research on SKD 61 for a micro-energy discharge process followed by the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process to coat Al₂O₃ particles uniformly on a rotation electrode. The precision polishing process was then applied on the discharged workpiece with suitable parameters including the voltage, electrode rotating speed, pH value of electrolyte, and abrasive concentration. After the EDM process, the surface roughness and the recast layer thickness of a workpiece could also be reduced. The experimental data showed that when 0.3 μm of Al₂O₃ particles was used for the EPD polishing process, the initial roughness of a discharge surface could be improved from 0.52 μm Ra (6.50 μm Rt) to a mirror-like surface of 0.068 μm Ra (0.742 μm Rt). Also, the total working time could be reduced significantly to within the range of 5 to 10 min.

Novel methods for high-speed observation of material removal and molten pool movement in EDM

This paper proposes two new methods to observe discharge phenomena without interference from the plasma in electrical discharge machining. The first method uses a bandpass filter with a bandwidth of 800–820 nm and laser illumination with a wavelength of 800–820 nm. The second method also uses a bandpass filter with a bandwidth of 800–820 nm; however, in this method, the tungsten material is used not only as the tool electrode but also as the illumination source. First, the discharge process was observed using traditional methods to investigate the influence of the plasma on the observation of the discharge process. Then, the process of removing molten material from both the tool electrode and workpiece, as well as molten pool movement, was observed using the first method proposed in this paper. The material removed from the tool electrode was scattered upward along the end profile of the tool electrode, while the material removed from the workpiece was distributed along the horizontal direction. To explain these phenomena, the flow distribution in the gap was qualitatively analyzed using a fluid simulation. Finally, the discharge process was also observed using the second method proposed in this paper. A tungsten tool electrode can emit light with a wavelength of 800–820 nm, which shines on the observed region during the discharge process. The observation results verified the phenomenon of multiple explosions of the molten pool during the discharge process. Moreover, it was found that the material removed by the explosion of the molten pool was scattered in different directions and hardly influenced by the flow distribution in the gap.     

Multi-discharge EDM coring of single crystal SiC ingot by electrostatic induction feeding method

A new technique of EDM coring of single crystal silicon carbide (SiC) ingot was proposed in this paper. Currently single crystal SiC devices are still of high cost due to the high cost of bulk crystal SiC material and the difficulty in the fabrication process of SiC. In the manufacturing process of SiC ingot/wafer, localized cracks or defects occasionally occur due to thermal or mechanical causes resulted from fabrication processes which may waste the whole piece of material. To save the part of ingot without defects and maximize the material utilization, the authors proposed EDM coring method to cut out a no defect ingot from a larger diameter ingot which has localized defects. A special experimental setup was developed for EDM coring of SiC ingot in this study and its feasibility and machining performance were investigated. Meanwhile, in order to improve the machining rate, a novel multi-discharge EDM coring method by electrostatic induction feeding was established, which can realize multiple discharges in single pulse duration. Experimental results make it clear that EDM coring of SiC ingot can be carried out stably using the developed experimental setup. Taking advantage of the newly developed multi-discharge EDM method, both the machining speed and surface integrity can be improved.
