提出了一种阴极跳跃进给的微细电化学加工方法,将微细阴极安装在直线电机推杆上,利用直线电机周期性高加速度跳跃所产生的泵吸、搅拌作用,更新加工间隙内的电解液,输运电解产物。在自制的加工装置上,实现了主轴电机进给运动、直线电机跳跃运动、直流电源通断的匹配控制,在不锈钢(1Cr18Ni9Ti)板上进行了一系列微细孔加工试验。试验结果表明,采用阴极跳跃进给、较高的跳跃加速度、较大的跳跃高度、较短的周期加工时间有利于提高微细电化学加工精度。
Cathode cyclic jump motion was implemented during the process of electrochemical micromachining herein. A linear motor was employed to carry cathode to move with high acceleration in cycles. Due to the accelerating motion of tool electrode in cycles, the electrolyte within machining gap would be partly refreshed. The Z-axis feeding motor, linear motor and DC supplier were coupled in the self-developed experimental equipment. A series of micro-holes were drilled on stainless steel (1Cr18NigTi) plate with thickness of 0.5mm to investigate the presented process. Experimental resuits show that cathode feeding with cyclic jump, higher jump acceleration, longer jump height and shorter cyclic machining time lead to better machining accuracy.
