1、附：外文翻译 电火花加工 电火花加工法对加工超韧性的导电材料（如新的太空合金）特别有价值。这些金属很难用常规方法加工，用常规的切削刀具不可能加工极其复杂的形状，电火花加工使之变得相对简单了。在金属切削工业中，这种加工方法正不断寻找新的应用领域。塑料工业已广泛使用这种方法，如在钢制模具上加工几乎是任何形状的模腔。 电火花加工法是一种受控制的金属切削技术，它使用电火花切除（侵蚀）工件上的多余金属，工件在切削后的形状与刀具（电极）相反。切削刀具用导电材料（通常是碳）制造。电极形状与所需型腔想匹配。工件与电极都浸在不导电的液体里，这种液体通常是轻润滑油。它应当是点的不良导体或绝缘体。用伺服机构是电极和

These metals would have been difficult to machine by conventional methods, but EDM has made it relatively simple to machine intricate shapes that would be impossible to produce with conventional

6、cutting tools. This machining process is continually finding further applications in the metal-cutting industry. It is being used extensively in the plastic industry to produce cavities of almost any shape in the steel molds. Electrical discharge machining is a controlled metal removal technique whe

7、reby an electric spark is used to cut (erode) the workpiece, which takes a shape opposite to that of the cutting tool or electrode. The cutting tool (electrode) is made from electrically conductive material, usually carbon. The electrode, made to the shape of the cavity required, and the workpiece a

A servo mechanism maintains a gap of about 0.0005 to 0.001 in. (0.01 to 0.02 mm) between the electrode and the work, preventing them

9、 from coming into contact with each other. A direct current of low voltage and high amperage is delivered to the electrode at the rate of approximately 20 000 hertz (Hz). These electrical energy impulses become sparks which jump the dielectric fluid. Intense heat is created in the localized area of

The dielectric fluid, which is constantly being circulated, carries away the eroded particles of metal and also assists in dissipating the heat caused by the spark. In the last few y

11、ears, major advances have been made with regard to the surface finishes that can be produced. With the low metal removal rates, surface finishes of 2 to 4 um. (0.05 to 0.10um) are possible. With high metal removal rates finishes of 1 000uin. (25um) are produced. The type of finish required determine

12、s the number of amperes which can be used, the capacitance, frequency, and the voltage setting. For fast metal removal (roughing cuts), high amperage, low frequency, high capacitance, and minimum gap voltage are required. For slow metal removal (finish cut) and good surface finish, low amperage, hig

Work can be machined in a hardened state, thereby overcoming the deformation caused by the hardening process. 3. Broken taps or drills can readily be removed from workpieces. 4. It does not create stresses in the work material since the tool (electrode) never comes in contact with the work. 5. The process is burr-free. 6. Thin, fragile sections can be easily machined without deforming.
