Abstract

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is an important way to manufacture copper electrode. In order to quickly manufacture copper electrode with good surface quality, the influence of electrical parameters on cutting speed and surface roughness of pure copper in wire electrical discharge machining was investigated. An analytical method was proposed to analyze the influence law from the aspects including discharge energy, the formation of adhesive substance on cutting surface and the discharge of electric erosion products. The results show that the pulse width has the greatest influence on the surface roughness and the peak current has the greatest influence on the cutting speed. Using the proposed analytical method, the influence relationship between the electrical parameters and the process objectives could be accurately analyzed, and then the actual production could be guided to select the appropriate electrical parameters according to the optimal process objectives pursued.
