Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electric discharge technology, in particular to a method for direct forming of metal fine structures based on electric discharge deposition additive manufacturing. Background technique

[0002] With the continuous deepening of EDM theory and experimental research, people have a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of electrode loss, the choice of processing media, and the discharge of erosion products during processing. Studies have shown that through micro-electrode spark discharge, not only the fine removal of metal materials can be realized, but also the deposition and growth of metal materials can be realized under appropriate process conditions by utilizing the high loss phenomenon of tool electrodes. The inevitable high electrode loss phenomenon in micro-EDM is beneficial to the growth and processing of tool electrode materials on workpieces. Research based on EDM has become a new microfabrication method a...
