摘要:
A multi-strand wire electroerosion machining method and apparatus are disclosed wherein a plurality of wires dispensed from respective wire sources are fed separately into a wire travel path and are assembled via wire guides into a bundle thereof. The bundle of the wires traversing a fluid-flushed cutting zone defined between machining electrode guides constitutes a single traveling electrode for electroerosively machining a workpiece. The wires from the cutting zone are taken up into a collection site while they are held sufficiently taut between the electrode guides. The workpiece is displaced relative to the bundle of traveling wires transversely to the axis thereof to machine a desired contour in the workpiece. Preferably, the wires in the bundle are twisted. Also disclosed is a rotary die for shaping the wires in their travel path to provide the bundle with a predetermined cross-sectional contour spaced from the wall of the workpiece across the machining gap.

Electroerosion machining method and apparatus in which the machining gap formed between a tool electrode and a workpiece is immersed in a water liquid to surround and enclose the gap therewith in the absence of a hydrocarbon liquid surrounding the gap. The hydrocarbon liquid is injected in a forced flow under an external pressure into the machining gap immersed in, and surrounded by and enclosed with, that water liquid, whereupon electrical discharges are initiated with a discharge medium which is at least predominantly constituted with the injected hydrocarbon liquid. The water liquid may be of a relatively static mass retained in a worktank, in which mass the workpiece and at least that portion of the tool electrode which is juxtaposed therewith are immersed. The injected hydrocarbon liquid upon undergoing the electrical discharges is allowed to diffuse into the water liquid surrounding the gap to float onto the surface thereof. Alternatively, with the hydrocarbon liquid directed in at least one narrow stream selectively into the machining gap, the water liquid may be present to surround and enclose the machining gap by being directed in a flow toward the workpiece to serve as an envelope flow for the narrow stream of the hydrocarbon liquid which acts to force the water flow substantially not to enter the machining gap and then to force it to spread over a portion of the workpiece surrounding the machining gap. The tool electrode may be a continuous wire electrode.

The tubular member is positioned to bring the open end in spaced juxtaposition with a workpiece across a small gap of a size of 10 and 1000 .mu.m in an evacuated an ionizable material is supplied into the slender tubular member through the inlet conduit for feeding it into the small gap through the open end. A power supply is provided to energize the supplied gas to form ions thereof and to apply an accelerating potential to the formed ions to propel them in a beam across the small gap to impinge upon a limited area of the surface of the workpiece juxtaposed with the open end of the slender tubular member. The pressure within the small gap, ranging between 10.sup.-4 and 10.sup.-1 Torr, is maintained in excess of the pressure of the surrounding the gap, ranging between 10.sup.-6 and 10.sup.-4 Torr.

A method of and apparatus for electrodepositing a metal upon a substrate having one or more recesses of substantial depth to form the metal deposit throughout the surfaces and in the recesses as well. An electrode assembly comprises an elongate anode and a tubular insulator traversed by the elongate anode so that the insulator partially covers the lateral surface of the electrode which is movable in its longitudinal direction. The electrode assembly is positioned to dispose a forward end portion thereof in the recess and to position the tubular insulator on the elongate anode so as to allow only a forward end face portion of the anode to be substantially exposed and the face portion to be juxtaposed with a floor portion of the substrate in the recess. An electrodepositing solution is supplied into the recess and an electric current is passed between the anode and the substrate to permit the metal from the solution to be selectively electrodeposited on the floor portion. Subsequently, the tubular insulator is gradually withdrawn while permitting the elongate anode to remain stationary to progressively increase the lateral area of the elongate anode exposed from the insulator, thereby progressively displacing the region of electrodeposition on the wall surface in the recess.

An electrodepositing method and apparatus utilizing a substantially hermetically sealed receptacle for accommodating a workpiece therein. An electrodepositing solution is flooded into the region of a gap between an anode and a cathodic conductive surface on the workpiece to allow the electrodepositing current of a high current density from a power supply to be delivered in the gap to electrodeposit a metal from the solution at least predominantly on a limited area on the workpiece surface juxtaposed with an active electrode face of the anode while permitting gases to be electrolytically produced in the gap and to be collected together with mists of the solution in a sealed room or space in the receptacle. The anode and the workpiece are relatively displaced to allow the active electrode face to sweep in a scanning manner over the workpiece surface to maximize the efficiency and performance of electrodeposition. A suction pump is provided to withdraw, under suction, the gaseous effluent accumulated in the space from the receptacle into an outlet duct.

A method, electrode assembly and apparatus for forming an electrodeposited metallic layer on a wall of a recess in a workpiece and at least on a bottom area in the recess. The electrode assembly comprises an electrodepositing electrode element and a support member so formed as to incorporate the electrode element therein and have a surface contour complementary to a surface contour of the recess in the workpiece. The support comprises a porous mass composed at least in part of an electrically nonconductive material and having abrasive particles distributed therein at least on the contoured surface thereof. In operation, the assembly and the workpiece are positioned to establish a mating engagement of the support member with the recess and a liquid electrolyte is supplied onto the wall of the recess. The electrode assembly is reciprocated to cyclically bring the support member in pressure contact with and away from the surface of the recess while a depositing current is passed between the electrode element and the workpiece at least during a time period in which the support member and the surface of the recess are brought together to uniformly electrodeposit a metal from the liquid electrolyte on the wall and at least on the aforesaid bottom area in the recess.

摘要:
An electroerosive contouring wire-cutting apparatus using a distilled or deionized water machining medium of a specific resistivity controlled to be in a range between 10.sup.2 and 10.sup.5 ohm-cm, and having abrasive particles of TiC, TiN, B.sub.4 C, BN, SiC, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and/or SiO.sub.2 of for example a particle size in the order of microns for delivery by the medium to the machining gap. A high-frequency vibration of a frequency of 1 kHz to 1 MHz is imparted to the wire electrode traveling through the workpiece in a direction transverse to the wire axis to enhance the combined electroerosive and abrasive actions at the machining gap. The machining medium is delivered by a nozzle, retrieved at a collector, and separated into its liquid and solid components in a separator. After deionizing the liquid and extracting the machining products, the abrasive particles and deionized water are mixed and recirculated through the nozzle.
