Apr 28, 2013 Much of the value of copper tungsten for electrical discharge machining (EDM) electrodes is the result of the unique mechanical and physical properties of the materials.For instance, copper’s high electrical conductivity and the wear resistance of tungsten make for a combination that optimizes manufacturability
Get PriceAug 01, 2014 For copper electrodes to release electrons in the gap, the temperature must be high enough for these electrons to absorb sufficient energy.1 As a result, these high temperatures tend to burn some of the copper electrode away. In order to generate this heat, the on times for copper electrodes are generally much higher than for graphite electrodes
Get PriceJun 01, 2003 An investigation was made into the combined technologies of electrical discharge machining and grinding (EDMG). A metal matrix (Cu/SiC p) electrode with a rotating device was made and employed to study the EDMG technology.It was found that 3–7 times the normal electrical discharge machining (EDM) material removal rate (MRR) could be achieved in EDMG under suitable conditions of electrode
Get PriceElectrodes Electrode selection and machining are important factors in operating ram EDM. With wire EDM there is a constant supply of new wire, or electode material; with ram EDM the electrodes wear. So knowing about electrodes is important in doing ram EDM. See Figure 11:1. A. Function of the Electrode

Get PriceFeb 19, 2014 Electrical discharge surface grinding (EDSG) is a hybrid machining process with combination of electrical discharge machining and mechanical grinding. The grinding action along with the electric sparks starts when the abrasive grits in the rotary electrode come in contact with the workpiece surface
Get PriceGrinding. Surface grinding — Standard surface grinders can be used with graphite, but the wheels must be kept sharp. The most common grinding wheel used is a green wheel, composed of 60 grit silicon carbide (Norton, Carborundum, Cincinnati, or equivalent tools, medium grade, medium open structure, vitreous bond). Run the wheel at 5300-6000

Get PriceSep 12, 2020 The processing speed of graphite electrodes is fast but the surface roughness is not as good as that of copper electrodes. Graphite electrode consumes a lot. Generally, the graphite electrode of the mold parts is rough and the red copper electrode is refined, so I personally think it
Get PriceApr 27, 2019 Density of copper is typically 8.96g/cm 3. Thus, die made of copper is much heavier. Density of copper is typically 2.26g/cm 3. For same size of die, graphite die is lighter than copper one. Melting point of pure copper is about 1085 C. Sometimes copper electrode tends to change its form due to extreme spark heating
