UDC 621.9.048
The article describes a new method of determining the energy parameters of using the electrical discharge machining (EDM) for processing metal surfaces, including the definition of three groups of parameters those characterizing: the electrical mode on energy patterns; single pulses; the energy efficiency of the EDM. The proposed technique is intended for research purposes, when creating new equipment, elaborating the EDM technology for critical parts, diagnosing the processing of critical parts and equipment in continuous operation.
Keywords: spark erosion, electric mode, energy parameters, energy pattern, spark pulse, pulse energy, pulse current, energy efficiency.
