Experimental research on ultrasonic vibration assisted EDM machining of titanium alloy with micro-holes

  • 摘要: 针对普通电火花加工TC4钛合金微小孔时,加工屑排出困难、加工效率低和电极损耗严重等问题,开展了超声振动辅助电火花加工钛合金微小孔的工艺试验研究。通过改变超声振动幅值和电加工参数,以材料去除率、相对电极损耗率和孔锥度为工艺指标进行了单因素试验,总结了各加工参数对上述指标的影响规律。试验结果表明:在相同电参数下,采用超声电火花加工方式,较普通电火花加工方式的材料去除率提高了3~5倍,相对电极损耗率和锥度减少了50%~80%;脉冲间隔增加,非正常放电现象减少,相对电极损耗率相应减少;间隙电压应选择在90 ~120 V,过小不利于排屑和消电离,过大将导致孔径太大,以致尺寸精度降低。

     

    Abstract: Aiming at the problems of difficult remove of debris, low machining efficiency and serious electrode wear when conventional EDM machining TC4 titanium alloy micro-holes, the experiments on the ultrasonic vibration assisted EDM of titanium alloy micro-holes were carried out. By changing the ultrasonic vibration amplitude and electrical machining parameters, a single factor experiment was carried out with the material removal rate, relative electrode wear rate and hole taper as the process indicators, and the influence law of each machining parameter on the above indicators was summarized. The results showed that under the same electrical parameters, using ultrasonic EDM, the material removal rate is 3~5 times higher than that of conventional EDM, the RTWR and taper are reduced by 55%~80%, respectively. The phenomenon of abnormal discharge will be reduced when pulse is increased, resulting in a corresponding decrease in material removal rate. The gap voltage should be selected between 90~120 V, if gap voltage too small, it is not conducive to debris removal and deionization, if gap voltage is too large, the aperture will be too large and the dimensional accuracy will be reduced.
