The Influence of EDM Pulse Shape on Machined Surfaces

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Twenty-third International Machine Tool Design and Research Conference

Summary

The Authors investigate a new type of EDM pulse generator conceived of by N. Mironoff. It produces periodic capacitive discharge triggered by high voltage pre-ignition pulses. Discharges are unipolar and isochronous; control of voltage, current intensity and pulse duration are allowed. This new principle of erosive pulse generation has theoretically better performances than the usual controlled pulse EDM generators.
