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.

Micro cutting of titanium alloy by polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools was studied. Micro electro discharge machining (MEDM) was used to fabricate customized micro shaping tools from PCD blank. The tool was used to machine micro grooves on Ti alloy and the effects of depth of cut and machining length on tool wear, burr and surface roughness were studied. The shaping tool has cutting edge of a few ${\mu}m$. The crater size of the tool surface was increased with increasing capacitance of EDM machining conditions, which was used to control the surface roughness of the machined micro grooves.

최근 들어 레이저를 이용한 방전 제어 기술에 대한 관심이 여러 분야에서 고조되고 있다. 특히, 레이저의 우수한 특성 때문에 Electro-Discharge Machining(EDM)분야에서 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 펄스형 Nd:TAG 레이저를 이용해서 방전 가공 장치에 적용될 수 있는 방전 유도 기술에 관한 기초 데이터의 확보를 위한 실험이 수행되었다. 레이저에 의한 직류 발전 유도 실험의 동작 압력의 범위는 0.2~20 torr였다. 진공조 내의 압력 P와 전극간의 거리 d에 따른 최소 직류 레이저 방전 유도 전압 $V_{G.min}$을 측정하였으며, $V_{G.min}$이 자연 방전전압 VND보다 훨씬 낮고 P.d값에 따른 $V_{G.min}$이 $V_{ND}$와 유사한 경향을 가짐을 확인하였다. 그리고 레이저 출력 에너지 $E_{out}$은 플래쉬램프의 전류 펄스폭 $t_p$가 증가함에 따라 감소하고 $t_p$값이 증가할수록 $V_{G.min}$은 방전 지속 시간 동안에 조사되는 광자량이 감소하기 때문에 더 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 레이저에 의한 방전 유도 가능범위와 레이저 출력에 따른 방전 유도 특성을 조사하였다.

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.

Recently, mechanical components with miniaturized size, complex shape and fine surface are on demand from industries such as mobile electronics, medical devices and defense. The size of them is smaller than several millimeters, the shape has micro-holes, curve, or multi-step and the surface is mirror-like. This features are not able to be machined with the conventional machining, therefore electro-discharge machining (EDM), cutting, and laser machining have been applied. If the technologies are assisted by vibration, high aspect ratio and good surface are to be achieved. In this paper, prior and current researches of vibration-assisted machining are reviewed. Machining mechanisms with vibration-assisting are explained, their effects are shown, and vibrating apparatuses are discussed. Especially, comparison between with and without vibration assisting is presented. This review shows the vibration-assisted machining is effectively fabricate the components with small and complicated shape and fine surface finish.

방전 현상을 에너지로 이용하여 금속을 가공하는, 특히 초경 및 난삭 소재의 가공과 정밀가공에 효과적인 방전가공 시 빠른 가공속도와 향상된 정밀도 및 면조도를 달성하기 위하여 효율적인 아크의 검출과 제어방법에 대해 연구하였다. 단일 방전 파형을 Td(Time-Delay), Ton(Time-on), Toff(Time-off)의 세 가지 구간으로 나누어 HDL 언어를 이용하여 게이트 제어 타이밍을 시뮬레이션 하고, 실제 방전가공기에 적용하여 파형을 실측하였으며, 비교기 회로를 통한 Td 구간의 샘플링을 통해 서보기구의 동작을 결정함으로써 전극과 가공물 간의 간격 제어와 가공 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 형성되는 파형의 Td 구간을 보다 정밀하게 고속으로 샘플링하여 이를 토대로 전극과 가공물 간의 gap 제어에 적용하였을 때 보다 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

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.

Many nuclear power plants have experienced unscheduled shutdown due to the leakage of steam generator tubes. The leakages are normally due to the crack, possibly stress corrosion cracking (SCC) near the tube expansion at the top of tubesheet or at the tangential point of the row-1 U-bend region. The conventional eddy current technique, which makes use of a differential bobbin coil, has been found to be inadequate for the early detection of SCC. During the in-service inspection, therefore, it is a general practice that the rotating pancake coil (RPC) is used for detecting the cracks. Even in using RPC, however, it is difficult to determine the depth of the cracks quantitatively. This paper attempts to determine the detectability and sizing ability of RPC technique for axial or circumferential cracks at the tube expansion region. The simulated cracks with various dimensions were fabricated by electro-discharge machining (EDM) method. Experimental results are discussed with theoretical calculations.

The mechanical responses of multilayered aluminum sheet fabricated by roll bonding, i.e., A1050/A3004 (65% A1050, 35% A3004 by thickness), were investigated via combined experiment and finite element (FE) analysis. The mechanical properties were measured using uniaxial tensile tests in various loading directions for the multilayered sheet. The corresponding tests for individual layers were also conducted. The testing samples were prepared by wire electro discharge machining (EDM). Stress-strain curves and Lankford coefficients of the multilayered sheet were then predicted by FE simulations. The measured mechanical properties of the individual layers were utilized as inputs for the simulation. Two yield functions, i.e., isotropic von-Mises and anisotropic non-quadratic Hill1948, were employed. Predicted results were compared with the experimental data and further discussed.

The robust and large-area applicable metal shadow masks with a high aspect ratio more than 20 are fabricated by a combination of micro-electro-discharge machining (${\mu}$-EDM) and electro chemical etching (ECE). After defining S/D contacts using a 100 ${\mu}m$ thick stainless steel shadow mask, the top-contact pentacene TFTs with channel length of 5 ${\mu}m$ showed routinely the results of mobility of 0.498 ${\pm}$ 0.05 $cm^2$/Vsec, current on/off ratio of 1.6 ${times}$ $10^5$, and threshold voltage of 0 V. The straightly defined atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of channel area demonstrated that shadow effects caused by the S/D electrode deposition were negligible. The fabricated pentacene TFTs have an average channel length of 5 ${\pm}$ 0.25 ${\mu}m$.
