In this study, variations of cutting performance with pulse time, open circuit voltage, wire speed and dielectric fluid pressure were experimentally investigated in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) process. Brass wire with 0.25 mm diameter and AISI 4140 steel with 10 mm thickness were used as tool and work materials in the experiments. The cutting performance outputs considered in this study were surface roughness and cutting speed. It is found experimentally that increasing pulse time, open circuit voltage, wire speed and dielectric fluid pressure increase the surface roughness and cutting speed. The variation of cutting speed and surface roughness with cutting parameters is modeled by using a regression analysis method. Then, for WEDM with multi-cutting performance outputs, an optimization work is performed using this mathematical models. In addition, the importance of the cutting parameters on the cutting performance outputs is determined by using the variance analysis (ANOVA).

Experimental study if die-sinking electrical discharge machining(EDM) was conducted with rotating electrode system including inside hole for increasing the material removal rate(MRR). With the help of dielectric fluid flow through the inside according to the different internal diameter of the hole, the molten workpiece debris could be removed and flushed out during the EDM, Cold die alloy(SKD-1) was executed for different peak current and duty factor. From this study, the MRR was found to be increased with the peak current. The more MRR was obtained for the case of electrode inside diam-eter of 10 mm, but the MRR was decreased as the diameter near at the 4mm and 6mm. The values of surface roughness and roundness were analyzed under various conditions, and these were affected by the inside diameter change of electrode.

In this paper, specimens stirred with the several kinds of benzotriazole(following as BTA) addition which is very effective to decrease the streaming electrification, are tested to investigate the change of properties for insulating fluid using in ultra-high voltage transformer, and it will give a guideline to find out a proper quantity of BTA addition for the most effective suppression against the streaming electrification. In GC, we could not find out the change of the physical properties in an insulating fluid by BTA. In a flowing transformer oil, the characteristics on dielectric of specimen contained BTA 10[ppm] are superior to the others.

In wire-electrical discharge machining (W-EDM), the dielectric plays an important role as the working fluid. It affects the material removal rate and the properties of the machined surface. This paper deals with the effects of the electrical conductivity of dielectric and cobalt percentage of sintered carbides on the machining characteristics and the machined surface integrities with deionized water as dielectric. A series of experiments have been performed on sintered carbides having different cobalt contents. Experimental results show that a higher cobalt content of WC decreases the metal removal rate and worsens the surface quality. Lower electrical conductivity of the dielectric results in a higher metal removal rate as the gap between wire electrode and workpiece reduced. Especially, the surface integrities of rough-cut workpiece, wire electrode, and debris were analyzed also through scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and surface roughness tester. By energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS), it is confirmed that micro cracks and some of electrode material are found on the workpiece surface.

Vegetable oil dielectrics have been used in transformers as green alternatives to mineral insulating oils for about twenty years, because of their advantages of non-toxic, biodegradability, and renewability. However, the viscosity of vegetable oils is more than 3 times of mineral oils, which means a poor heat dissipation capacity. To get low-viscosity dielectrics, transesterification and purification were performed to prepare vegetable oil methyl esters in this study. Electrical and physical properties were determined to investigate their potential as dielectrics. The results showed that the methyl ester products had good dielectric strengths, high water saturation and enough fire resistance. The viscosities (at $40^{\circ}C$) were 0.2 times less than FR3 fluid, and 0.7 times less than mineral oil, which indicated superior cooling capacity as we expected. With the assistance of 0.5 wt% pour point depressants, canola oil methyl ester exhibited the lowest pour point ($-26^{\circ}C$) among the products which was lower than FR3 fluid ($-21^{\circ}C$) and 25# mineral oil ($-23^{\circ}C$). Thus, canola oil methyl ester was the best candidate as a low-viscosity vegetable oil-based dielectric. The low-viscosity fluid could extend the service life of transformers by its better cooling capacity compared with nature ester dielectrics.

This paper describes a micro electrical discharge machining (MEDM) technique that uses an insulated tool in combination with ultrasonic vibration to drill micro holes. As the machining depth becomes deeper, the dispersion of debris and circulation of the dielectric fluid are difficult to occur. Consequently, machining becomes unstable in the machining region and unnecessary electrochemical dissolution and secondary discharge sparking occur at the tool side face. To reduce the amount of unnecessary side machining, an insulated tool was used. Ultrasonic vibration was applied to the MEDM work fluid to better remove debris. Through these methods, a $1000\;{\mu}m$ thick stainless steel plate was machined by using a $73\;{\mu}m$ diameter electrode. The diameters of the hole entrance and exit were $96\;{\mu}m$ and $88\;{\mu}m$, respectively. It took only 351s to completely drill one hole.

본 논문은 유체 역학적 관점에서 플라즈마 모델링을 통하여 전자 밀도를 계산하는 방식을 제안하였다. 그럼으로써 기존 논문들에서 사용된 단순화된 플라즈마 모델링의 한계를 극복하였다. 계산된 전자 밀도를 finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) 기법에 기반한 맥스웰-볼츠만 시스템에 연계하여 다양한 각도에서 입사하는 전자기파에 대한 산란파 계산을 수행하였다. 전반부에서는 유전체 장벽 방전(dielectric barrier discharge: DBD) 구조에서 발생되는 플라즈마를 모델링하였다. 다수의 모델링 방식 중, 시간 독립적인 변수를 도입하여 정지계의 전위 분포와 전자 밀도 분포를 계산하는 Suzen-Huang 모델을 이용하였다. 후반부에서는 변조된 가우시안 펄스를 플라즈마에 입사시켜 발생하는 산란파를 FDTD 기법을 이용하여 계산하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 레이더 단면적(radar cross section: RCS)을 관찰하였다. 모의실험 결과, DBD 플라즈마에 의해 1~2 dB 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이는 기존의 논문에서 알려진 RCS 측정 결과와 유사한 양상을 보이며, 본 논문에서 제안한 모델링의 유효성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we have investigated the dielectric breakdown by measuring AC (60Hz) breakdown strength of the fluids in accordance with IEC 156 standard and have compared the results with references. It was found that the dielectric breakdown voltage of pure transformer oil is around 12 [kV] with the gap distance of 1.5mm between electrodes. In case of our transformer oil based magnetic fluids with 0.1% < ${\Phi}$(volume concentration of magnetic particles) <0.6%, the dielectric breakdown voltage shows above 30 [kV], which is 2.5 times higher than that of pure transformer oil. It can be explained by the changed ionization process by adding nanoparticles in pure transformer oil, which is due to trapped fast electrons and slow negative nanoparticles. Moreover, in case of the fluid with applied magnetic field, the dielectric breakdown voltage increases above 40 [kV], which is 3.3 times higher than that of pure transformer oil.

The problem of the onset stability in an inclined layer of dielectric viscoelastic fluid (Walter's liquid B') is studied. The analysis is made under the simultaneous action of a normal a.c. electric field and the natural convection flow due to uniformly distributed internal heat sources. The power series method used to obtain the eigen value equation which is then solved numerically to obtain the stable and unstable solutions. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically.
