  • In this study, we developed the manufacturing technology of micro-hole and micro-shaft for micro punching system using micro electrical discharge machining and micro electro chemical machining. Micro punching dies of tungsten carbide with $55\;{\mu}m\;and\;110\;{\mu}m$ diameter and $250\;{\mu}m$ depth were made by micro electrical discharge machining. The form accuracy and surface roughness of die hole were pretty good and it was shown that the punched hole quality was fine. WC micro-shaft with $30\;{\mu}m$ diameter was made by the multistep micro electro chemical machining. The developed technologies can be effectively used in precision manufacturing of micro punching die and mass production of micro-shaft.

  • The possibility of micro/nano machining through electro-chemical process is discussed in this research. Electro-chemical dissolution region is localized within 1 ${\mu}m$ by applying ultra short pulses with tens of nanosecond duration. The effects of voltage, pulse duration, and pulse frequency on the localization distance are investigated. Localization distance can be manipulated by controlling the voltage and pulse duration, and various hole shapes are produced including stepped holes and taper free hole. High quality micro-hole with 8 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 20 ${\mu}m$ depth and micro-groove with 9 ${\mu}m$ width with 10 ${\mu}m$ depth are machined on 304 stainless steel.

  • By the localization of electro-chemical dissolution region, we succeeded in a few micrometer size hole drilling on stainless steel with the radial machining gap of about 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Tens of nanosecond duration voltage pulses were applied between WC micro-shaft and stainless steel in the 0.1 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. Pt balance electrode was used to drill the high aspect ratio micro-hole without generation of Cr oxide layer on the machined surface. The effects of applied voltage, pulse duration, and pulse period on localization distance were investigated according to machining time. We suggested the taper reduction technique especially brought up on blind-hole machining. High quality micro-holes with 8 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 20 ${\mu}m$ depth and 12 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 100 ${\mu}m$ depth were drilled on 304 stainless steel foil. The various hole shapes were also produced including stepped holes and taper free holes.

  • In this paper, we have developed an electro discharge machine for micro drilling driven by a voice coil actuator. Because the voltage signal of the electro-discharging circuit shows a lot of peaks and valleys, the active type low-pass filtering technique is adopted to get the average of the signal. Since the motion of the voice coil is precisely controlled by the error value between the object voltage value and the measured one, it is possible to prevent the mechanical contact between the rotating electrode and the workpiece and to maintain the appropriate machining conditions during the process. The electro-chemical machining technology was also adopted to make small diameter electrodes. Pure water is used as a dielectric. The machining procedure is performed to verify the feasibility of the developed system. It takes about 10 seconds to drill the ${\phi}m$100${\mu}m$ hole to the 100${\mu}m$ thickness stainless steel plate. The machining time depends on the values of the resister and the capacitor. There may exist the optimal values of time constant and the tendency is displayed In the appendix.

  • Micro-hole drilling by EDM and production of fine rods for the tool electrode or other purpose have become very important in industry. This paper suggests a new method for production of very fine rods by ultrasonic-assisted chemical machining and describes the machining characteristics of micro-hole drilling by EDM. For fine rods, copper wires of initial diameter of 250.mum are used and successfully machined into a diameter of less than 30.mum with good repeatability. The ultrasonic agitation not only accelerated the material removal rate uniformly, but also produced smooth surfaces of fine rods. To drill the micro-hole, kerosene and pure water is used as a dielectric. From the experiment, water is superior to kerosene with respect to surface roughness of inlet and outlet of hole and machined surface as well as electrode wear. However, due to the electrochemical reaction of water, small pits are remained on the workpiece surface.

  • Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) has been found to be suitable for the micro-hole machining of nonconductive materials such as ceramics or glass compared with existing conventional and also non-conventional machining methods. However this machining process has some problems such as low geometric accuracy and low machining efficiency due to the random spark generation at the end of the electrode. This paper proposes the methods to improve the geometric accuracy of micro-hole using powder mixed ECDM process. The experimental results show the effects of powder producing improved geometric accuracy of machined hole and decreased concentration of spark energy.

  • Invar is a compound metal of Fe-Ni system and contain 36% Ni. The most distinction characteristic of Invar is the coefficient of thermal expansion is 1.0 10$^{-6}$ /$^{\circ}C$. That is a tenth of general steel material. This low thermal expansion characteristic of Invar is applied to the missile, aircraft, monitor CRT and frontier display's shadow mask such as FED and OLED. The usage of the Invar shadow mask for display is increasing due to the requirement of larger size and flatness monitor. The Invar shadow mask is machined by two ways electro-forming and laser now. However the electro-forming takes a too long time and the laser machining is accompanied with Burr. In this study, PEMM(pulse electrochemical micro machining) is conducted to machine the micro hole to the Invar and 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ hole was machined.

  • Micro machining technologies have been required to satisfy various conditions in a high-technology industry. Micro electrochemical process is one of the most precision machining methods. Micro electrochemical process has been divided into electrochemical etching through protective layer and electrochemical machining using ultrashort voltage pulses. Micro shaft can be fabricated by electrochemical etching. The various protective layers such as photo-resist, oxide layer and oxidized recast layer have been used to protect metal surface during electrochemical etching. Micro patterning on metal surface can be machined by electrochemical etching through protective layer. Micro hole, groove and structures can be easily machined by electrochemical machining using ultrashort voltage pulses. Recently, the groove with subnanometer was machined using AFM.
