The W-EDM is very important In precision machining of die, punch and small parts of precision products, so this machining method is widely used in various fields of industry. In this study, machining characteristics of Hand Drum Form and surface roughness are investigated experimentally. As Hand drum form has great effect on straightness of cut-surface of workpiece, its evaluation is very important in precision cutting. As experimental material, the mold material, STD11 is used and machined by CNC wire-EDM using the 025mm wire in diameter with repeated cutting up to 6 times. The thickness of workpiece is vaned in 20, 40, 60, 80, 100mm Hand drum form and surface roughness are measured after each cutting. Experimental results show that four times-cutting is optimum in the point of hand drum form and surface roughness.

The performance and life of a die are influenced by the machining methods. In order to examine the effects of machining methods on surface charactenstics, simple experiments are devised and performed. A die steel STD11, commonly used as a die material in press working, is selected. Three ways of machining methods to manufacture a die are considered. Those are (1) milling and then grinding, (2) wire-cut electric discharge dachining (W-EDM) and (3) heat treatment after W-EDM. The resulting surface roughnesses are measured. Also, the changes of surface microstructures are investigated using the scanning electron microscope(SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDS) and the results are discussed in details.

Frictional behavior of wire electric discharge machined surfaces of spheroidized annealed STDll steel was investigated. The surfaces were produced with a various series of finish cuts where pulse energy was reduced with increase in the number of finish cuts. Roughness and micro-hardness of the surfaces were also measured. It is observed that the increase in the number of finish cuts produces the surface exhibiting lower frictional resistance followed by higher resistance after considerable wear. Effects of finish cuts on the friction characteristics are discussed with the aid of roughness and micro-hardness of the surfaces.

This paper introduces the system AUTO-CUT for the automatic generation of NC tapes for wire-cut EDM (Electrodischarge Machining) parts. The information input to the system is the description of the part geometries, the tool motions and the cutting conditions etc. The system generates CLDATA. Also dynamic graphic display of the tool motions can be-performed on the screen.

From the experimental study of wire-cut Electric Discharge Machining for alloyed steel and tungsten carbide, the characteristics such as hand drum form has been observed and evaluated for various conditions. Hand drum form can be improved when gap voltage and spark cycle become smaller, their thickness become thinner, wire tension become larger and number of cutting is done so many times. When wire-cut 60mm thickness tungsten carbide in normal condition, Hand drum form becomes larger due to the low conductivity inducing cobalt composite rising by electrolysis.

Wire electrical discharge machining experiments in conducted to investigate characteristics of acoustic emission (AE) and electrical discharge energy due to current peak (I$_{p}$), pulse on time($\tau$/on/). The AE signals are obtained with a sensor attached to workpiece side. Machining states are identified with scanning electron microscopy and residual stress analyzer. It is demonstrated that the residual stress provide reliable informations about the machining states. Moreover, machining states can be detected successfully using both the residual stress and AE count rate.e.

The wire displacement of wire electric discharge machine has been measured using He-Ne laser. A measurement system consisted of He-Ne laser, A/D converter, 4 divided photodiode, amplifier, sensor process instrument, and personal computer. The processing parameters were varid with feed rate, wire tension, wire speed and voltage. The laser beam intensity transmitted on a 4 divided photodiode was varied by processing wire electric descharge machine with various process parameters. The 4 divided photodiode and amplifier were used to change the detected beam intensity into voltage. Variation of wire displacement was between 11 and 125 .mu. m. The wire tension was dominant on the variation of wire displacement among many parameters.

We proposed a 2-step neural network approach for estimating machining parameters of electric discharge wire cut. The first step net, which is described as a backward neuro-estimation, is designed for estimating coarse cutting parameters while the second phase net, as a polishing forward neuro-estimation, is utilized for determining fine parameters. Sequential estimation procedure, based on backward and forward net, is performed using the net's approximation capability which is M to 1 and 1 to M mapping property. Experimental results an given to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed 2-step neuro-estimation.

The characteristics of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) are governed by many factors such as the power supply type, operating condition and electrode material. This work deals with the effect of wire electrode materials on the machining characteristics such as, metal removal rate, surface characteristics and surface roughness during WEDM A wire's thermal physical properties are melting point, electrical conductivity and vapor pressure. One of the desired qualities of wire is a low melting point and high vapor pressure to help expel the contaminants from the gap. They are determined by the mix of alloying elements (in the case of plain brass and coated wire) or the base core material(i.e. molybdenum). Experiments have been conducted regarding the choice of suitable wire electrode materials and influence of the properties of these materials on the machinability and surface characteristics in WEDM, the experimental results are presented and discussed from their metallurgical aspect. And the coating effect of various alloying elements(Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn, etc.) to the Cu or 65-35 brass core on them was reviewed also. The removal rate of some coated wires are higher than that of 65-35 brass electrode wire because the wire is difficult to break due to the wire cooling effect of Zn evaporation latent heat and the Zn oxide on the surface is effective in preventing short circuit. The removal rate increases with increasing Zn content from 35, 40 and Zn coated wire
