Study of Tool Wear and Overcut in EDM Process with Rotary Tool and Magnetic Field

الملخص EN

Tool wear and workpiece overcut have been studied in electrical discharge machining process with rotational external magnetic field and rotational electrode.

Experiments have been divided to three main regimes, namely, low-energy regime, middle-energy regime, and high-energy regime.

The influence of process parameters were investigated on electrode wear rate and overcut.

Results indicate that applying a magnetic field around the machining gap increases the electrode wear rate and overcut.

Also, rotation of the tool has negative effect on overcut.
