Characteristics of Die Sinking Electical Discharge Machining for Pulse Duration

펄스지속시간에 따른 형상방전가공 특성

Conductive veramic matrix composite(CMC) workpiece of TiC 33%/Al /sab 2/O /sab 3/ 66% Y /sab 2/ O /sab 3/ was machined by die sinking electrical discharge machining(EDM) according to different pulse duration and suty factor for reverse polarity of electrode. Material removal rate(MRR) was examined by process under various operating conditions. The surface morphology was evaluated by surface roughness values and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) research. The more MRR was obtained according to increase pulse duration and duty factor. Also the maximum surface roughness(Rmax) of EDMed surface was slightly changed with increased pulse duration and duty factor. The SEM photographs of EDMed surface showed wide recast wide recast distribution region of melting materials in purse duration 0.130(ms) than 0.048(ms).
