In this paper, a method for determining pulse energy distribution ratio in micro-EDM is presented. The pulse energy distribution ratio is a critical parameter in the EDM process. It determines how much of the total energy of a pulse has been distributed into each electrode and the inter-electrode gap. Instead of measuring the electrode temperature variation (which is very difficult), the method in this paper uses the dimensions of the generated craters to determine the pulse energy distribution ratio. The semi-infinite body with uniform disk heat source conduction model has been applied to simulate the EDM erosion process. By solving the thermal model, the radius of the plasma and the pulse energy distribution ratio can be got. Experiments with the pulse energy from 0.09 μJ to 1.02 μJ show that, the average pulse energy distribution ratio is 9.4% to the anode and is 3.6% to the cathode, respectively. These results agree with other reported EDM literature. Additionally the relationship of the anode crater volume to pulse energy is found to be linear.
