Abstract

This paper researches the material erosion mechanisms of high silicon- aluminum (Si-Al) alloy in micro electrical discharge machining (Micro-EDM). By using Quanta 200F environment scanning electron microscope, the microstructure of Al-50wt%Si alloy by spray forming was observed. And a simplified model of high Si-Al alloy was set up. The Al-50wt%Si alloy was machined by using copper electrode and tungsten electrode respectively. And the differences of surface morphologies and element energy spectrum were compared. The process and the material erosion mechanisms of high Si-Al alloy in Micro-EDM were analyzed in detail. The results may provide theoretical basis for Micro-EDM of high Si-Al alloy.
