Abstract: Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a nonconventional machining process that involves the formation of a plasma in an interelectrode gap filled with a dielectric that melts and vaporizes the electrodes (tool and ...

Abstract: For successful commercial adaptation of the خ¼EDM (micro electrodischarge machining) process, there is a need to increase the process efficiency by understanding the process mechanism. This paper presents a model of the ...

Abstract: Electrical conductivity of the dielectric liquid has been shown to play main role in discharge initiation and electrical breakdown as revealed by several modeling and experimental studies on electrical discharges in liquids. ...

Abstract: In electrodischarge machining (EDM), the thermal energy causing material removal at the electrodes is given by the electrical energy supplied to the discharge. This electrical energy, also known as the discharge energy, ...

Abstract: In micro electrodischarge machining (microEDM), it is believed that electrical conductivity of the dielectric modified by additives plays an important role in discharge initiation and electrical breakdown, thereby affecting ...

Abstract: This paper presents a microelectrodischarge machining (EDM) meltpool model to predict workpiece (anode) material removal from a single discharge microEDM process. To model the meltpool, heat transfer and fluid flow equations ...
