The demand for wire-cut EDM is increasing rapidly in the die and tool making industry. In this study machining characteristics such as machining rate, surface roughness, hand drum form and hardness of machined material are investigated experimentally under the conditions varing pulse on time, pulse off time, peak voltage, wire tension after fixing other conditions in SKD 11 and brass and brass workpiece. It was found that various operating conditions had significant influences on machining characteristics. But the hardness of workpiece was uneffected by operating conditions. Also it was obtained experimentally that brass workpeice had better machinability than SKD 11 one.dition according to the current(Ip) in an electric spark machine : 1) Electrode is utilized Cu and Graphite. 2) Work piece is used the material of carbon steel. The condition of experiment is : 1) Current is varied 0.7(A) to 50(A) and the time of electric discharging to work piece in each time is 30(min) to 60(min). 2) After the upper side of work piece was measured in radius(5$\mu$m) of stylus analyzed the surface roughness to ade the table and graph of Rmax by yielding data. 3) Electro wear ratio is : \circled1Cooper was measured ex-machining and post-machining by the electronic balance. \circled2The ex-machining of graphite measured by it, the post-machining was found the data from volume $\times$specific gravity and analyzed to made its table and graph on ground the data. 4) In order to keep the accuracy of voltage affected to the work piece was equipped with the A.V. R and the memory scope was sticked to the electric spark machine. 5) In order to preserve the precision of current, to get rid of the noise occured by internal resistance of electric spark machine and to force injecting for the discharge fluid , it made the fixed table for a work piece to minimize the work error by means of one's failure during the electric discharging.

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.

프레스금형의 부품 중에서 펀치와 다이플레이트를 제작하는데 주로 W-EDM을 이용한다. W-EDM전에는 기계가공으로 제작된 펀치와 다이플레이트로 제품을 생산하게 되면 생산량이 200만${\sim}$230만개를 생산하고 금형수명을 다하였다. 그러나 W-EDM으로 제작된 금형으로 제품을 생산하게 되면 생산수량이 70만${\sim}$80만개를 생산하고 금형수명이 다하였다. 이것은 W-EDM한 후에 발생되는 가공변질층에 기인하는 것으로 사료되므로 W-EDM전과 W-EDM후의 가공면에 대한 SEM촬영을 실시하여 가공변질층의 발생을 확인하고 이에 대한 제거방법을 연구하였다.

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.

From the experimental study of W-EDM for alloyed steel, the characteristics such as Hand Drum Form and surface roughness have been observed and evaluated for various conditions. In square hole, the increase of If as to made condition the calculate high value of surface roughness. Also compare dimensionless square hole with circle hole' graph. In circle hole, if a value of surface roughness IP 6 in a side of circle it show a 0.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and in IP 8, 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, in IP 10, 0.7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, in IP 12. 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ higher than before. This figure show the surface roughness is higher than before, because a table move in either X-axis or Y-axis in square hole, on the contrary, in circle there table move in X-axis and Y-axis at the same time. hand drum form getting small when wire tension increase 1000gf to 1500gf, at the same working conditions. the smaller of off time, the mailer of hand drum form in same condition and same wire tension. but if you compare square hole with circle hole' graph hand drum form displayed in maintained term of working condision, on the contrary, in case of square hole variation of hand drum form is more increase than a grow of IP

Wire-cut EDM is used in Die manufacturing as the part of non-traditional cutting process, But,the determination of it's cutting condition with high efficiency and precision is difficult due to the influence of cutting environment and cutting mechanism. In this study, we examine the cutting performance of the SKD11 and Brass in wire-cut EDM and make the neural network which have the configuration of 5-12-2 and back-propagation learning rule. Through the neural network, we can appraise the cutting performance before working and determine the optimal cutting condition. By introducing this method to the W-cut EDM, we can enhance the cutting efficiency.

From the experimental study of Wire-Cut Electric Discharge Machining of STD-11 alloy steel and P-20 tungsten carbide, the characteristics such as hand drum form and discharge gap have been observed and evaluated for various conditions. Hand drum form can be improved when gap have been observed and evaluated for various conditions. Hand drum form can be improved when gap voltage and spark cycle become smaller, thickness become thinner, wire tension become larger and the no of cutting increases. When 60mm thickness tungsten carbide is cut in normal condition, hand drum form becomes larger due to the low conductivity machining allowance become slightly larger when peak discharge current and gap voltage become larger, or wire tension becomes smaller. Under the same condition, machining allowance of tungsten carbide is larger than alloyed steel by 1/100mm.
