Abstract- Micro Electric Discharge Machining is a non-traditional machining process which can be used for drilling micro holes in high strength to weight ratio materials. The optimization of tool electrode to compensate for tool wear is used regularly in drilling and in µEDM milling. A range of EDM applications are highlighted together with the development of hybrid machining processes. The 3D roughness parameter, Sa, has been introduced to measure the side wall surface quality of the holes drilled using micro-EDM. chined onto the electrode should be offset with the spark, gap. The design of, these tool paths derives from the values of the cross section, area of the electrode, the area of the layer surface, the depth, of cut and the volumetric wear ratio which are assumed, to be constant. The paper focuses on the planning of the EDM process and the electrode wear problem. Due to the high precision and good surface quality that it can give, EDM is potentially an important process for the fabrication of micro-tools, micro-components and parts with micro-features.

Electrical Discharge Machining Used on hard metals works with electrically conductive materials HISTORY OF EDM In1770s, discovered by Joseph Priestly. However, machine tools for a small mold machining are usually very large. A combination of fundamental micro-drilling and micro-electrical discharge machining (uEDM) is considered the main mechanism in the uEDD process. Usually they are produced ei-, ther by drilling or EDM drilling. Finally, a number of microstructures are designed and machined to illustrate the implemented micro-EDM design environment. The problems created by electrode wear become more. 43 (2003) 1287â1300. The sparking phenomenon, physical principle of material removal, process capabilities and flexibility with the other machining process are discussed in the initial part of the paper. Besides erosion of the work piece material, inherent aspect of the process tends to material removal, tool wear, surface finish and dimensional inaccuracy in the machined micro components or parts. Micro parts and systems are playing crucial roles in the area of semiconductor, biomedical device, micro fluid devices, automotive, aerospace and so forth. Micro-Electric Discharge Machining (Micro-EDM) is a recognised material removal process for the manufacturing of micro components/parts, micro features, micro cavity and micro holes on difficult to machine materials like aluminium matrix composites, titanium alloy and nickel-based alloys. When the workpiece and the elec-, trode are separated by a speciï¬c small gap, the so-called, âspark gapâ, a pulsed discharge occurs which removes ma-, terial from the workpiece through melting and evapora-, In recent years, numerous developments in EDM have fo-, cused on the production of micro-features. is to adopt a unidirectional approach to the hole. ) These micro features are extensively used in the field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), bio-MEMS, environmental and information technology, and so on. In many cases, this is carried out using a small-scale version of wire Electro-Discharge Machining (EDM) in tool materials such as sintered, There is a growing interest in the machining of micro-holes with high aspect-ratio in difficult-to-machine alloys for the aerospace industry.

The least number of researches have been done in The accuracy and reliability of, these processes should be carefully assessed if they are to, affecting the performance and limiting the application of, micro-EDM. Concise wear measurement is vital since an error in the assessment would have a combined effect in the following layers. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a well-established machining option for manufacturing geometrically complex or hard material parts that are extremely difficult-to-machine by conventional machining processes.

The most popular device for holding the long thin WC, electrode is a ceramic guide. In a previous paper, the authors presented a reliable reverse modelling approach to perform such tasks, based on a crater-by-crater simulation model and an outer optimization loop. micro-features can be categorised into four different types: micro-features is employed to produce its mirror image, ities by adopting a movement strategy similar to that in, Despite the number of publications extolling the improved. This paper presents some recent developments in micro-EDM in its various forms (wire, drilling, milling and die-sinking) and discusses the main research issues. The distance from the spool position, to the threading nozzle was long, and caused a great deal, of inconvenience for the installation of the wire. Main results include 37% reduction in machining times (hole diameter 800 μm) when using electrode helix angle of 45° and flute-depth of 50 μm, and an additional 19% with flute-depth of 150 μm. In this study, optical non-contact 3D profilometry is used to characterize the side wall surface. As the surfaces tend to oxidise, a, different gap or different contact pressure is needed for the, spark to break through. Time dependance of an electrode shape was observed through on-the-machine measurement. It plays a major role in miniaturisation process particularly in micro dies/moulds, biomedical devices and micro electromechanical system (MEMS) etc. In recent years, EDM researchers have explored a number of ways to improve the sparking efficiency including some unique experimental concepts that depart from the EDM traditional sparking phenomenon. Moreover, it can also be done using tool wear compensation. The paper focuses on the planning of the EDM process and the electrode wear problem. 52 (1) (2003) 143â, [8] D. Dauw, On the derivation and application of a real time tool wear. They are likely to focus on hybrid compensation approaches, where for instance UWM could be ï¬rst used, ensuring no, overcutting, and then a multiple electrode strategy would, accurately ï¬nish the proï¬le. Because so, far micro-EDM has tended to be performed using con-, ventional EDM machines modiï¬ed to accommodate the, micro-manufacturing requirements, a number of problems, discussed. The surface performances of aerospace materials machined by micro-EDM directly affect the reliability of aeronautical components. Therefore, a theoretical model for surface profile generation which takes into account the effect of tool wear is needed.

The promising future research scope is also noted in micro-EDM as well as in nano-EDM based on the electrical discharge. So, it is very important to study the tool wear because it directly affects the accuracy of micro features during machining. To compensate electrode wear the required number of tool electrodes for the multiple electrode strategy is calculated using an analytical expression, which is introduced in this paper. Electro discharge machining (EDM) process is a non-conventional and non-contact machining operation which is used in industry for high precision products. of electrodes and the suitability of electrode wear compensation methods.
