Wire Edm Handbook

"In writing this book, the author focused on EDM fundamentals. These are the items common to all EDM machines, such as the spark, how the spark is controlled, what causes overcut, and the importance of the dielectric fluid. With regard to the workplace, covered are the affect the spark has on the metallurgy and how the surface finish is produced and controlled. The book also describes the development of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), the EDM system and process, the EDM sparking systems, the power supply (generator), spark voltage, electrode servo systems, di-electric systems, ionization and electrode wear, chips, the EDM surface, DC arcing, different kinds of EDM, autormatic servo systems operation, and electromagnetic radiation. It is the author's intent that this text will serve as the primer on the EDM process, allowing the people using EDM to become more efficient and the machines more productive."--Back cover.

Continuous improvements in machining practices have created opportunities for businesses to develop more streamlined processes. This not only leads to higher success in day-to-day production, but also increases the overall success of businesses. Non-Conventional Machining in Modern Manufacturing Systems provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of technological advancements in industrial environments and applications in manufacturing. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as optimization techniques, electrical discharge machining, and hot machining, this book is ideally designed for business managers, engineers, business professionals, researchers, and academicians seeking current research on non-conventional and technologically advanced machining processes.

Traditional machining has many limitations in today’s technology-driven world, which has caused industrial professionals to begin implementing various optimization techniques within their machining processes. The application of methods including machine learning and genetic algorithms has recently transformed the manufacturing industry and created countless opportunities in non-traditional machining methods. Significant research in this area, however, is still considerably lacking. Machine Learning Applications in Non-Conventional Machining Processes is a collection of innovative research on the advancement of intelligent technology in industrial environments and its applications within the manufacturing field. While highlighting topics including evolutionary algorithms, micro-machining, and artificial neural networks, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academicians, engineers, managers, developers, practitioners, industrialists, and students seeking current research on intelligence-based machining processes in today’s technology-driven market.
