Analysis of kerf width in micro-WEDM

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In micro-wire electrical discharge machining (micro-WEDM), the machined kerf width varies with different machining parameters, which greatly influences the machining precision. In order to study the kerf variations in micro-WEDM, the mathematical model of wire lateral vibration in machining process is established and its analytical solution is obtained in this paper. The model is practically verified on a self-developed micro-WEDM machine. Under this model, a 30.8 μm width slot is achieved on a stainless steel workpiece with ∅30 μm wire-tool.
