Study of electrode surface characteristics under short single pulse in micro ed-milling

Laminated removal micro ED-Milling is a non-contact special processing technology, through electrode discharge removal in materials. Therefore, shape, size and overlapping degree of the discharge crater determine the surface roughness and surface morphology. Using the principle of electrode wears, through the experiment of Micro-EDM milling shallow groove under short single pulse, getting morphology of a single pulse discharge machining surface. And from the crater of morphological features analyses the different cause of formation, and contrasts in different electric parameters, the different of the electrode surface. For further analysis of the surface physical and mechanical performance changes to lay the foundation, and provides a way for the electrode material removal mechanism research and the calculation of the Single pulse discharge energy.
