High speed multi-channel discharge machining of difficult-to-cut materials

本计画旨在发展一种新的方法，以高速加工难加工材料，并以一种新的理论来解决表面品质与加工效率之间的矛盾。希望能提高电加工的基础知识。其成果是新的加工理论，新的方法和模型，使用多个低能量火花，几乎同时发生的高速加工的各种先进材料。它将显著提高加工速度，从而大幅降低钛医疗植入物、合金发动机部件和新型切削工具等产品的生产成本，这些产品对生物材料、航空航天和制造业至关重要。

This project aims to develop a novel approach to high speed machining of difficult-to-cut materials by resolving the contradictory surface quality and machining efficiency problem with a new theory. It is expected to advance the fundamental knowledge of electrical machining. The outcomes are new machining theories, novel methods and models of using multiple low energy sparks which occur nearly simultaneously for high speed machining of a wide range of advanced materials. It should significantly increase machining speed and thus dramatically reduce the costs of producing products such as titanium medical implants, alloyed engine components and new cutting tools which are vital for the biomaterials, aerospace and manufacturing industries.
