In precision wire electrode discharge machining by CAD/CAM, it is the most important problem on machining method to determine the wire electrode offset amout from the accurate calculation of discharge gap in order to increase the machining accuracy, after fixing the main machining conditions such as machining speed, wire tension, coolant conductivity, gap vlotage. The present study shows the relationships between discharge gap and main machining conditions by means of a series of experiment concerned with the gap using the workpiece of STD 11, and suggests the experimental eguation to calculate the accurate wire electrode offset amount under the given machining conditions for spot workers.

This paper presents a methodology for determining machining conditions in Electric Discharge Wire-Cut. Unification of two phase neural network approach with an automatic generation of machining parameters is designed. The first phase neural network, which is 1 to M backward-mapping neural net, produces approximate machining conditions. Using approximate conditions, all possible conditions are newly created by the proposed automatic generation procedure. The second phase neural net, which is a M to 1 forward-mapping neural net, determines the best one among the generated candidates. Simulation results with ANN are given to verify that the presenting methodology could apply for determining machining parameters in Electric Discharge Wire-Cut.

The purpose of this study was to present the method to choose the optimization machining condition for the wire electric discharge machine. This was completed by examining the ever-changing quality of the material and by improving the function of the wire electric discharge machine. Precision metal mold products and the unmanned wire electric discharge machining system were used and then applied in industrial fields. This experiment uses the wire electric discharge machine with brass wire electrode of 0.25mm. In this experiment, we changed no-node voltage to 7 and 9, pulse-on-time to 6$mutextrm{s}$, 8$mutextrm{s}$ and 10$mutextrm{s}$, pulse-off-time to 8$mutextrm{s}$, 10$mutextrm{s}$ and 13$mutextrm{s}$, and experimented on wire tension at room temperature by 1000gf, 1200gf, and 1400gf, respectively.

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.

Precision metal mold products and the unmanned wire electric discharge machining system were used and then applied in industrial fields. This experiment uses the wire electric discharge machine with brass wire electrode of 0.25mm. To measure the precision of the machining surface, average values are obtained from 3 samples of measures of center-line average roughness by using a third dimension gauge and a stylus surface roughness gauge. In this experiment, we changed no-node voltage to 7 and 9, pulse-on-time to $6\mu\textrm{s}$, $8\mu\textrm{s}$ and $10\mu\textrm{s}$, pulse-off-time to $8\mu\textrm{s}$, $10\mu\textrm{s}$ and $13\mu\textrm{s}$, and experimented on wire tension at room temperature by 1000gf, 1200gf, and 1400gf, respectively

The effects of triangular and rectangular discharge current waveforms on anode erosion in wire electric discharge machining is investigated based on heat transfer analysis of half-space subject to time and space-dependent heat flux. The thermal load on the anode is simulated by a hear flux that is calculated from time-dependent discharge channel radius and energy. Evolution of the melting front during discharge, the molten volume at the experimental result for qualitative verification of the analysis. It is demonstrated that the triangular current waveform is more efficient in eroding the anode than the rectangular one.

Electrical discharge machining uses thermal energy from electrical discharge, while wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) technology is widely used in conductive material machining. This paper proposes a method for evaluating the characteristics of wires in WEDM. In order to evaluate the wire processing performance, processing speed and roughness, straightness, corner processing have been assessed with precision experiment equipment and image processing including Laplacian filtering with various threshold levels.
