The influences of intense magnetic pinch effect caused by electromagnetic field with high frequency on discharge channel expansion and plasma configuration change are discussed. The change of Lorentz force exerting on charged particles in discharge channel is calculated under the electromagnetic field with high frequency. Through the theoretical analysis and experimental study, the forming process of discharge channel is conjectured. And it is considered that the changes of discharge channel, such as the decrease of diameter and increase of energy density, coming from the intense magnetic pinch effect in high frequency electromagnetic field, are the main reasons for a series of special phenomena on the machined surface in micro EDM.
This article proposes a new type of electrode for micro-electro-discharge machining (micro-EDM) , which can produce ultra fine micro components from various kinds of materials including those that cannot be processed by the silicon or the Litho-graphie Galvanoformung Abformung (LIGA) processings. This electrode is made by way of the electrodeposition process on the basis of the difference between the discharging performance of the electrodeposited coating and that of the matrix to ensure uniform wear of ele...
