- 2. EDM (Electrical dischargemachining) -Principle • A thin wire 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.

- 81. TYPES OF PLASMAARC TORCHES
- 82. Direct Arc PlasmaTorch PILOT ARC A Pre arc (Pilot arc) is created b/w electrode and nozzle when this pre arc touches the work piece the current flows from work piece to electrode . This make main arc b/w electrode and work piece. So now pre –Arc is switched off
- 83. Transferred arc process DirectArc Plasma Torch • The arc is formed between the electrode(-) and the work piece(+). • In other words, arc is transferred from the electrode to the work piece. • A transferred arc possesses high energy density and plasma jet velocity. For this reason it is employed to cut and melt metals. Besides carbon steels this process can cut stainless steel and nonferrous metals also where oxyacetylene torch does not succeed. Transferred arc can also be used for welding at high arc travel speeds. A pilot arc is established between the electrode and the nozzle. As the pilot arc touches the job main current starts flowing between electrode and job, thus igniting the transferred arc. The pilot arc initiating unit gets disconnected and pilot arc extinguishes as soon as the arc between the electrode and the job is started. The temperature of a constricted plasma arc may be of the order of 8000 - 250000C.
- 84. In-Direct Arc PlasmaTorch .
- 85. Non-transferred arc process In-DirectArc Plasma Torch • The arc is formed between the electrode(-) and the water cooled nozzle(+). • Arc plasma comes out of the nozzle as a flame. • The arc is independent of the work piece and the work piece does not form a part of the electrical circuit. Just like an arc flame (as in atomic hydrogen welding), it can be moved from one place to another and can be better controlled. The non transferred plasma arc possesses comparatively less energy density as compared to a transferred arc plasma and it is employed for welding and in applications involving ceramics or metal plating (spraying). High density metal coatings can be produced by this process. A non- transferred arc is initiated by using a high frequency unit in the circuit.
