Experimental Study of the Dry and Near-Dry Electrical Discharge Milling Processes

چکیده
This study investigates the dry and near-dry electrical discharge machining (EDM) milling to achieve a high material removal rate (MRR) and fine surface finish for roughing and finishing operations, respectively. Dry EDM uses gas and near-dry EDM applies a liquid-gas mixture as the dielectric medium. Experimental studies leading to the selection of oxygen gas and copper electrode for high MRR dry EDM and the nitrogen-water mixture and graphite electrode for fine surface finish near-dry EDM are presented. Neardry EDM exhibits the advantage of good machining stability and surface finish under low discharge energy input. A 25−1 fractional factorial design is applied to investigate the effect of discharge current, pulse duration, and pulse interval on the MRR and surface finish in dry and near-dry EDMs. Lower pulse duration and lower discharge current are identified as key factors for improving the surface finish in near-dry EDM.

متن کاملFeeding of Wet Corn Milling Byproducts to Beef Cattle
Corn milling byproducts are expected to increase dramatically in supply. Two primary types of milling processes currently exist, resulting in quite different feed products. The dry milling process produces distillers grains plus solubles, and the wet milling process produces corn gluten feed. These feeds can be marketed as wet feed, or they can be dried and marketed as either dry corn gluten fe...

ABSTRACT In this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and glow discharge plasma microreactors. A chemical kinetic model was developed to understand the reaction better. The modelization allowed prediction of the reactants conversion according to the energy transfer to the gas (P×τ). The β value is trait of the energy cost, whatever this value was leeser indicated ...
