With the development of micro machining, it becomes an important part to fabricate an electrode which has tens of ${\mu}m$ or less. There are two methods to get a narrow hole; non-contact type such as EDM(Electro-discharge machining) and contact type such as punching. A punch which has a tapered shape with a cylindrical tip is fabricated in this paper. To make this punch, a method which was used to fabricate a cylindrical shape by electrochemical process was applied. The control factors for the shape and their limits are verified through an experiment.

In this paper, two parts of neural networks were proposed for determination of optimal EDM parameters. One is pattern recognition neural network that can be selecting expert neural network suitable to the EDM mode. The other is expert neural network that can be determining optimal EDM parameters such as pulse on time and pulse off time. Prior to determination of EDM parameters, Peak current, which is related to the EDM area closely, determined base on EDM area that is calculated from CAD data, firstly. Then, the other EDM parameters determined by the expert neural network that is selected to the EDM mode.

Conductive Ceramic Matrix Composite(CMC) of TIC/Al2O3 and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) of SiC/Al were experienced by the die sinking Electrical Discharge Machining(EDM) for different current and duty factor according to negative polarity. Inthis experimental study Material Removal Rate(MRR) maximum surface roughness four point bending stress distribution and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) Photographs were analysed. the higher MRR was obtained for CMC than MMC but slowly decreased around duty factor of 0.67 for MMC and better surface morphology was found CMC than MMC. The SEM photographs of discharge traces for CMC showe uniform shape about 100 to 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter but MMC showed irregular shape.

The EDM characteristics of STD11 steel with copper and graphite as electrode have been investigated by using Hansvedt SE-155B electro-discharge machine. The effects of parameters such as duty factor and frequency on electro-discharge machining were discussed. It was found that those parameters have significant influences on the relative electrode wear(REW), metal removalrate(MRR) surface integrity. When the duty factor was increased under the constant frequency of 2 KHz, the MRR was also increased and the REW was decreased. But REW was constant with higher duty factor of 50%. In the case of the smaller duty factor and the higher frequency, the surface roughness has become better. When the graphite was used as electrode at thes same condition, the tool electrode built-up phenomenon has been obsdrved.

This paper presents vibration characteristics of a wire cut discharge machine in which an electro-rheological brake actuator is used to control the wire tension. The ER brake actuator has several advantages including design simplicity, fast response time and real-time controllability. On the basis of the tension level required in the machine an appropriate size of the ER brake actuator is devised. The ER brake actuator is then incorporated with the machine and the field-dependent wire tension is experimentally evaluated. The straightness of the workpiece is also empirically investigated by changing the intensity of the electric field.

Acoustic emission(AE) is monitored during end milling with a sensor attached to the cutting fluid discharge nozzle. Cutting forces are also measured and compared with the AE signals to examine the reliability of the AE signals. It is demonstrated that the AE signals provide reliable informations about the cutting processes and tool states. Moreover, edge chipping and fracture of tools can be successfully detected using both the AE signals and cutting forces.
