와이어 컷 방전가공은 자동운전을 가능하게 한 NC가공 장치를 대표할 만한 가공법이다. 기존 기계가공으로 가공하기 어려운 형상의 제품을 쉽게 제작할 수 있다 그러나 기계가공으로 제작된 금형에 비해 수명이 현저히 저하된다. 이러한 요인은 와이어 컷 방전가공으로 제작된 금형 표면에 가공 변질층이 발생함으로 인한 것으로 사료된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기계가공과 와이어 컷 방전가공으로 제작된 시편의 가공면 표면 특성을 비교하여 그 요인을 분석하고자 하였다.

This paper has comparatively analyzed the characteristics of the machined surface of a specimen made by machining Die Steel STD11 and a specimen obtained by W-EDM steel. If a press die is manufactured through W-EDM, products of shapes that cannot easily be made through machining can be manufactured easily. However, the life of the press die is significantly reduced compared with the press die made through machining. This is believed to be caused by the deformed layer that has occurred on the surface of the press die that was made through W-EDM. The roughness of the 2 specimens was measured, and it was learned that the distribution of the roughness of the specimen made through the 1st W-EDM was rough. When the specimens were observed using a scanning-electron microscope, there was significant difference between the surface and the cross-section of the 2 specimens, while the cross section of the specimen obtained through W-EDM had the tempered and quenched surface structure which exists in the form of a deformed layer.

The 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 and machine control data. Also dynamic simulation of tool motions can be performed on the screen.

The effect of the numbers of processing on the punch and surface roughness of die block in the W-EDM, which is frequently used to manufacture parts of press die is studied. W-EDM equipment(Sodic A500H), the application of which has increased for its precision, is used in the process three times. To inspect the roughness of the three-time-processed dimension of the punch and the die, the surface roughness measuring instrument(System 5000 of Federal) is used.

Research into the selection of suitable materials and the development of fast processing methods for press die manufacturing is absolutely necessary to reduce the production time and cost. In particular, knowledge of its heat properties must be considered whendeveloping a long press die. Generally, as the main component materials of press dies, Cr, W low alloy tool steel, high carbon-high chrome steel, high speed steel, etc., are used as thetooling steel for the cold die. Machine tools and wire-cut electric discharge machining are mainly used for processing the press die parts. There are many differences in the machining time and life cycle of die parts depending on the machining process. The parts produced by milling and grinding have a high manufacturing time and cost with a long life cycle, while thosemade by milling and wire-cut discharge machining have areduced manufacturing time and cost,whereastheir die life cycle is reduced. Therefore, in this study, we will discuss amethod of improving the life cycle of the die parts by using heat treatment as a processing method that reduces the manufacturing time and cost. SEM, EDS analysis and the surface roughness analysis of the surface and center of the workpiece are used for analyzing the specimens produced by three machining methods, viz. milling - grinding, milling - wire cut discharge, and milling - wire cut discharge - heat treatment. A method of making die parts having the same life cycle as those produced by milling - grinding is developed with the milling - wire cut discharge - high temperature tempering method.

프레스금형의 부품 중에서 펀치와 다이플레이트를 제작하는 방법은 공작기계만을 사용하여 제작하는 경우와 공작기계와 와이어 컷 방전가공기를(W-EDM)를 병행 사용하는 경우가 있다. 그런데 공작기계만을 사용하여 제작 할 때는 금형수명(Die Life)이 200만-230만 스트로크였는데 와이어 컷 방전가공기를 사용한 제작에서는 70만-80만 스트로크에서 금형수명을 다하고 있다. 이것은 W-EDM후에 발생되는 가공변질층으로 예측되므로 W-EDM전과 W-EDM후의 가공면에 대한 SEM촬영을 실시하여 가공변질충의 발생여부를 확인하고 이에 대한 제거방법을 연구하고자 하였다.

In the wire cut electrical discharge machining, the optimal machining parameters setting satisfying the requirements of both high efficiency and good quality is very difficult because its process involves a series of complex physical phenomena and the machining parameters are numerous over diverse range. In this paper, the experimental investigation has been performed to find out the influence of the machining parameters on the machining performance such as cutting speed and surface roughness. The selected experimental parameters are no load voltage, discharge peak current and pulse-off time. The experimental results give the guideline for selecting suitable machining parameters.

From the experimental study of wire-cut Electric Discharge Machining of alloyed tool steel and tungsten carbide, the characteristics such as cutting speed, surface roughness has been observed and evaluated for various conditions. Cutting speed is improved as peak discharge current and wire tension become increased, and gap voltage and spark cycle decreased. Surface roughness can be better when peak discharge current and gap voltage become smaller, or spark cycle and wire tension become larger. Secondary cut is recommended to obtain high precision and good quality.
