WORKING
APPLICATION
Prototype production
Coinage die making
Small hole deilling
ADVANTAGES
Complex shapes
Extremely hard material to very close tolerances
Very small work
There is no direct contact between tool and work piece. Therefore
delicate sections and weak materials can be machined without any
distortion.
A good surface finish can be obtained.
Very fine holes can be easily drilled.
DISADVATAGES
2.WIRE EDM
WORKING
single-strand metal wire (usually brass) in conjunction with de-ionized water (used to
conduct electricity) allows the wire to cut through metal by the use of heat from
electrical sparks.
At anode
Fe = Fe2+ + 2e-
At cathode
At electrolyte
Nacl
Hcl
NaOH etc
ADVANTAGES OF ECM
DISADVANTAGES OF ECM
Higher cost.
Electrolyte may cause corrosion of the equipment.
Large production floor is required.
Only electrically conductive materials may be machined.
Not environmentally friendly process.
APPLICATION
I z = I o e -z
Iz - light intensity at depth z
- absorption coefficient.
ADVANTAGES
No limit to cutting path
Stressless process
Applicable to very hard and abrasive material
Cost effective
More accurate
No tool wear
No lubrication needed
DISADVANTAGES
Uneconomical at high volume
High capitalcost
High maintenance cost
Assit or cover gas required
