Abstract

In the micro EDM method by electrostatic induction feeding, a pulse voltage source is coupled to the tool electrode by a capacitor in order to reduce the minimum discharge energy per pulse. Positive pulse voltage and negative pulse voltage are applied to the tool electrode alternately, relative to the workpiece. In this study, it was found that when the feeding capacitance was large, multiple discharges occurred frequently during a single pulse duration of the pulse voltage source. Since the impedance of the pulse voltage source which was produced by the authors varied depending on the polarity, the multiple discharges occurred in the polarity with the higher impedance, while they did not occur in the opposite polarity. It was also found that when multiple discharges occurred, the discharge energy was released intermittently in the multiple discharges. In this study, using multiple discharges phenomena, better surface was obtained with higher removal speed.
