磁场辅助电火花在不同极性下的材料蚀除研究

Study of material erosion in magnetic-field-assisted EDM under different polarities

  • 摘要: 文章以TC4钛合金为对象,采用紫铜电极,在100 μs脉宽、2~8 A 电流、0~0.3T 磁场下,开展不同极性磁场辅助电火花加工试验,探究其对材料去除率(material removal rate, MRR)、表面粗糙度及形貌的影响。结果表明,外加磁场可调控放电通道与等离子体运动,提升排屑与放电稳定性,两种极性下材料去除率均随电流与磁场强度升高而增大,正极性去除率更优;磁场对正极性表面粗糙度无明显改善,但可降低表面最大高度与纹理复杂度,负极性表面粗糙度随磁场增强显著降低,0.3 T 时 Ra降幅约 26.8%。该研究揭示了磁场与极性的匹配机制,为钛合金磁场辅助电火花加工(electrical discharge machining, EDM)工艺优化提供了实验依据与表面质量分析。

     

    Abstract: Experiments on magnetic-field-assisted electrical discharge machining of TC4 titanium alloy were conducted using a copper electrode at a pulse width of 100 μs, currents ranging from 2 to 8 A, and magnetic field strengths from 0 to 0.3 T under both polarities. The effects on material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness, and morphology were investigated. The results show that the applied magnetic field can regulate the discharge channel and plasma movement, improving chip removal and discharge stability. The MRR increases with both current and magnetic field strength for both polarities, with a superior material removal rate observed under positive polarity. The magnetic field does not significantly improve the surface roughness under positive polarity but reduces the maximum surface height and texture complexity. For negative polarity, the surface roughness decreases significantly with increasing magnetic field strength, with an approximate 26.8% reduction in Ra at 0.3 T. This study reveals the coupling mechanism of magnetic field and polarity and provides experimental evidence and surface quality analysis for the optimization of magnetic-field-assisted (electrical discharge machining, EDM) for titanium alloys.
