Micro-hole drilling by EDM and production of fine rods for the tool electrode or other purpose have become very important in industry. This paper suggests a new method for production of very fine rods by ultrasonic-assisted chemical machining and describes the machining characteristics of micro-hole drilling by EDM. For fine rods, copper wires of initial diameter of 250.mum are used and successfully machined into a diameter of less than 30.mum with good repeatability. The ultrasonic agitation not only accelerated the material removal rate uniformly, but also produced smooth surfaces of fine rods. To drill the micro-hole, kerosene and pure water is used as a dielectric. From the experiment, water is superior to kerosene with respect to surface roughness of inlet and outlet of hole and machined surface as well as electrode wear. However, due to the electrochemical reaction of water, small pits are remained on the workpiece surface.

The effects of alloying elements, Cr, Mo, and N on repassivation characteristics of stainless steels were investigated by using the abrading electrode technique and a.c impedance spectroscopy. The role of alloying elements on the stability of passive film and their repassivation characteristics were examined using alloy steels such as Fe-Cr, Fe-Cr-Mo, 304, 304LN, 316, and 316LN. The electrochemical characteristics of the passive film were investigated by in-situ d.c. and a.c. electrochemical methods. Localized corrosion resistance is believed to have much to do with the stability and repassivation characteristics of the passive film. The effects of alloying elements on the current transients and repassivation kinetics were systematically examined by using the abrading electrode technique and a.c. impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results were analyzed in order to elucidate the relationship between passive film stability, repassivation characteristics, and alloying elements.

The experimental study of die-sinking electrical discharge machining for alloy tool steel of STD-11 with circular electrode was conducted for various conditions of the peak current and duty factor with the change of internal size of electrode for distributing the amount of dielectric flow through the electrode. From this study, the material removal rate(MRR) was found to be increased with the peak current and duty factor. The more MRR was obtained for the case of electrode inside diameter of 10mm. The surface roughness and roundness values were analyzed regularity under various conditions, and these values were not affected by the inside diameter change of electrode.

저항 점 용접시 발생하는 어려운 문제점의 하나는 아무리 동일한 용접조건 하에서 용접을 한다하 더라도 균일한 용접품질을 얻을 수 없다는 점이다. 이는 주로 용접중의 전원에서의 변화로 인한 용접전류 및 전압변동, 용접모재의 표면상태 및 두께의 불균일, 두 전극의 마멸 및 맞춤상태 등의 인자 때문에 기인한다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 용접하는 도중에 수시 로 인자 때문에 기인한다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 용접하는 도중에 수 시로 용접 상태를 점검하여 용접조건을 그때 그때에 적합하게 변화시켜 주는 것이 바람직한데 우 선 용접상태를 판별하기 위해서는 용접품질(weld quality)을 잘 대변할 수 있는 용접법 변수를 찾 아내는 것이 중요한 일이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 용접품질에 관련되는 변수중, 전기동저항과 전 극분리현상을 측정해서 마이크로 컴퓨터를 사용하여 관련되는 특정값들을 구했고 이들과 인장실 험에서 얻은 용접강도와의 상관관계를 얻음으로써 과연 어떠한 공정변수가 용접품질을 잘 대변해 줄 수 있는가를 실험적으로 조사하였다.

The repassivation characteristics of Fe-Cr steels in deaerated 0.1 M $Na_2SO_4$ solution have been investigated with the variation of Cr content, applied potential and Cl- concentration. In the absence of chloride ion, abrading electrode test showed that, slope -n, of log i=k -n log t, a parameter of repassivation rate, approached to -1, regardless of Cr content but as Cr content increased, repassivation current density decreases with increasing Cr content. A.C. Impedance spectroscopy showed that the charge transfer resistance of passive film became higher as Cr content and applied potential increased. However, in the presence of chloride ion, it was observed that chloride ion suppressed the passive film formation, whose effect became greater with increasing applied potential.
