The invention relates to a method for utilizing the micro-explosion of an
electrode striking arc to
process engineering ceramics and a device thereof, and belongs to the technical filed of non-traditional
machining. The method is that a micro-explosion bombardment wave generated by the
electrode striking arc is used for being targeted at the surface of a
ceramic workpiece; the surface of the
ceramic workpiece is eroded to form a circular concave pit with 1-2 mm
diameter and 0.01-1 mm depth, so as to realize the removal and the
processing of the surface of the workpieces. The device comprises an air-compressor, a special impulse power supply, a
numerical control three dimensions working table and a bombardment wave launcher, wherein, the
compressed air output by the air-compressor is led into the inner cavity of the bombardment wave launcher through the
cathode power supply duct of the special impulse power supply; the
cathode of the special impulse power supply is connected with a core pole of the bombardment wave launcher; the
anode of the special impulse power supply is connected with the
nozzle of the bombardment wave launcher; and the
nozzle of the bombardment wave launcher opens towards the table-board of the
numerical control three dimensions working table. The invention has remarkable advantages of simple structure, low price, easy control on parameters, and capability of realizing the
processing of a heteromorphic curved surface.
