Abstract |
|
EDM is a non- conventional method of machining in which material removal takes place due to strong electric field generated in the tool work piece gap causing plasma arc to generate. High temperature zone is concentrated at spark zone radius due to which thermal stress is generated at tool electrode and workpiece. If this thermal stress increases to the yield stress value of material, it creates various problems like micro-cracks and catastrophic failure etc. In this study Graphite and copper electrodes are chosen for the analysis of temperature distribution and thermal stresses generated due to this high temperature zone. And analysis is done on ANSYS 15.0. |
