Abstract

In this paper, the attempt was made to study dry WEDG (Wire Electrical Discharge Grinding), the differences between dry WEDG and wet WEDG, especially the rods appearance and material removal speed and surface roughness were studied experimentally, the results are as follow: (1) The shape especially the symmetry of the rods fabricated with WEDG using kerosene as dielectric fluid is better than that of dry WEDG only using pure air as dielectric. (2) The material removal speed is obviously higher in wet WEDG than that in dry WEDG. (3) The surface roughness of the rods fabricated with wet WEDG is lower than that with dry WEDG;.(4) The wet WEDG can be used in the roughness machining to improve the speed, and the dry WEDG can be used in the finishing machining to advance the surface quality.
