Fabrication of micro-gear shaft on micro-EDM

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Micro Electrical Discharge Machining (micro-EDM) process and micro Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (micro-WEDM) process have been proven to be appropriate techniques for fabrication of three-dimensional micro parts and high aspect ratio micro structures. The structural feature of micro-gear shaft and the machining characteristics of micro-EDM and micro-WEDM were analyzed in this paper. Then a process flow for fabrication of micro-gear shaft was proposed, which combines micro-EDM and micro-WEDM, and the machining accuracy and efficiency were analyzed. A micro-gear shaft with pith diameter of 350 μm was fabricated by this method.
