Abstract

This paper concerns with a machining experiment on the beryllium sample by electrical discharge machining (EDM), and the experiment proves the machinability in beryllium foil machining of EDM. A brass electrode was chosen for the machining, and the relationship between the tool wear and the process condition was revealed. By the alternation of the positive polarity machining and the negative polarity machining, the tool wear caused by electric erosion was furthest controlled. The foil with a thickness of (0.05~0.06) mm was achieved, and the Ra of (0.18~0.20) μm and the P-V value of 0.78 μm were measured through white-light interference.
