Predicting the Erosion Resistance of an Anode in Electrospark Surfacing

Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The coating thickness produced by electrospark hardening depends on the erosion resistance of the electrode (anode). Dimensional analysis is used to derive a model taking account of the influence of the parameters of electrospark hardening, the size and characteristics of the electrode, the surface microgeometry of the anode in the contact zone, and the load on the electrode. The model permits the planning of experiments to better understand the influence of individual factors on the erosion of the anode.
