Abstract

This paper describes a WEDM simulation method. The simulation consists of the analysis of the wire vibration and search for discharge locations. It was found that using the probability method to determine discharge locations is more reasonable and realistic than using the deterministic method. The machined shape obtained from the simulation was consistent with those obtained from actual machining. It was also found that adaptive servo feed control easily results in the generation of streaks over the machined surface while constant feed rate control has no such tendency.
