Electrical arc machining of polycrystalline diamond with a wheel electrode

该项目旨在发现新的理论，以克服电火花加工聚晶金刚石的核心挑战。金刚石材料在切割钛合金等难加工材料方面具有极高的性能，这些材料广泛应用于航空航天和生物医学行业。然而，电火花加工极慢的冲蚀速度严重阻碍了其应用。该项目将使用高能电弧快速加工聚晶钻石。预期的结果是一种新的方法和基础知识的突破，为开发新的电气加工方法铺平道路，并导致制造成本的显著降低。

This project aims to discover new theories to overcome the core challenge in electrical discharge machining of polycrystalline diamond. Diamond materials provide the ultimate performance in cutting difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys which are widely used in the aerospace and biomedical industries. However, the extremely slow erosion speed of electrical discharge machining severely impedes their applications. The project will use high energy electrical arcs for the fast machining of polycrystalline diamond. The expected outcome is a new approach and breakthroughs in fundamental knowledge that pave the way for developing new electrical machining methods and lead to significant reductions in manufacturing costs.
