EDM and Wire Cut EDM
- 1.
- 2. EDM-Principle • A thinwire of round shape used as an electrode, which is supplied to the work area through a pair of wheels. With the aid of current a high power spark is produced between wire- electrode and work piece. Due to this high amount of heat is produced nearly to 10000 degree Celsius. This heat energy used to melt and vaporize the work material. Then with the supply of dielectric fluid the molten stage materials are flushed away, likewise the machining is carried out in the work piece.

- 17. 2. R-C-L Circuit •MRR increases with the decrease of R Capacitor charging time is the problem in R-C circuit. So to overcome this , inductance (L) is introduced in the circuit
- 18. Rotary Pulse Generator •R-C and R-C-L yield low MRR • Rotary Pulse Generator over come Drawback of above to circuits • It give high MRR • It give good Surface finish • It give low tool wear • It provide better control in all Parameters
- 19. Rotary Pulse Generator •Here Capacitor is discharged through the diode during first half cycle. • In the next half cycle sum of voltages is given with charged capacitor to the circuit. • So high spark produced • It results high MRR Draw Back •Poor Surface Finish
- 20. Controlled Pulse GeneratorCircuit • All above three circuits not having any safety incase of Short circuit in the circuit Here in this a vacuum tube (Transistor) is provided as an automatic control

- 25. • Taper PROCESS PARAMETERS Dueto High dielectric Pollution , side sparks are more than front spark. So Tapering Occur in Hole
- 26. • Surface Finish PROCESSPARAMETERS It Depend on i) Energy of Pulse ii) Frequency of operation
- 27. • Current Density PROCESSPARAMETERS Current Density (More Spark) = MRR + Surface Roughness Current Density (Less Spark) = MRR + Surface Roughness Good Surface Finish Poor Surface Finish
