Experimental Study On Ruled Surface Of Numerical Controlled Electrochemical Machining

Straight-edge cathode numerical controlled electrochemical machining is a new manufacturing technology which uses a simple straight-edge cathode as a pass fluid electrode and then does multi-dimensional motion driven by CNC system. It has both the advantages of electrochemical machining and the flexible of CNC machining, and it can work out the problems in machining ruled surface which are difficult to cut.In this paper, the electrochemical machining set-up was introduced, including mechanical body, power supply, electrolyte system and control system and the straight-edge cathode electrochemical machining experiments were done in this experimental set-up.Study of the forming laws is the basis of study the NC electrochemical contour evolution machining. In this paper, straight-edge cathode electrochemical contour evolution machining forming laws were studied and the experiments were carried out.Straight-edge cathode multi-factor orthogonal experiments were finished in the electrolysis machine experimental set-up. The analysis of the test described the affect of surface roughness and cutting depth by various factors and identified the optimal parameter combination of surface roughness, which laid the foundation for complex surface machining.Ruled surface processing were implemented successfully by selecting appropriate processing parameters based on the orthogonal experiments.
