Experimental Investigation of Discharge Phenomena in Electrochemical Discharge Machining Process
Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is a promising non−traditional processing technology used to machine non−conductive materials, such as glass and ceramic, based on the evoked electrochemical discharge phenomena around the tool electrode. The discharge in ECDM is a key factor that affects t...

description | Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is a promising non−traditional processing technology used to machine non−conductive materials, such as glass and ceramic, based on the evoked electrochemical discharge phenomena around the tool electrode. The discharge in ECDM is a key factor that affects the removal of material. Moreover, the discharge current is an important indicator reflecting the discharge state. However, the discharge characteristics remain an open topic for debate and require further investigation. There is still confusion regarding the distinction of the discharge current from the electrochemical reaction current in ECDM. In this study, high−speed imaging technology was applied to the investigation of the discharge characteristics. By comparing the captured discharge images with the corresponding discharge current, the discharge can be classified into three types. The observations of the discharge effect on the gas film indicate that a force was exerted on the gas film during the discharge process and the shape of the gas film was changed by the force. In addition, the energies released by different types of discharge were calculated according to the voltage and current waveforms. The discharge frequency was found to increase with the increase in applied voltage and the frequency of the second type of discharge was approximately equal to that of the third type when the applied voltage was higher than 40 V. |
