본 연구에서는 전해가공을 이용해서 직경이 균일한 텅스텐 카바이드 미세축을 제작하는 실험을 수행하였다. 전해가공을 통해 미세축으로 사용 가능한 형상을 얻기 위한 최적의 가공 조건에 대해 고찰하였다 이 과정에서 미세축의 형상에 영향을 주는 여러 인자들을 적절하게 조절하여 최적의 형상을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 가공된 미세축을 이용하여 적절한 조건으로 2차, 3차 가공을 수행하여 초미세축을 가공할 수 있음을 보였다. 그리하여 실험 결과 직경 $30{\mu}m$, 길이 $500{\mu}m$의 텅스텐 카바이드 미세축을 제작하였다.

Tungsten carbide microshaft is used as micro-punch, electrode of MEDM (micro-electro-discharge machining), and micro-tool because it has high hardness and high rigidity. In this study, the tungsten carbide microshaft was fabricated using electrochemical machining. Concentration of material removal at the sharp edge and metal corrosion layer affect the shape of the microshaft. Control of microshaft shape was possib1e through conditioning the machining voltage and electrolyte concentration. By applying periodic voltage, material removal rate increased and surface roughness improved. The fabricated microshaft in $H_2 SO_4$ electrolyte maintained sharper end edge and better surface finish than those fabricated by other electrolytes.

Tungsten carbide microshaft is used as various micro-tools in MEMS because it has high hardness and good rigidity. In this study, experiments were performed to produce tungsten carbide microshaft using electrochemical machining. $H_2SO_4$solution was used as electrolyte because it can dissolve tungsten and cobalt simultaneously. Optimal electrolyte concentration and machining voltage satisfying uniform shape and large MRR of workpiece were found. For one-step machining, the immersion depth over 1 mm was selected for avoidance of concentration of electric charge at the tip of the microshaft. The limit diameter with good straightness was shown and an empirical formula for WC-microshaft machining was suggested. By controlling the various machining parameters, a straight microshaft with 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter, over 1 mm length and under 0.5$^{\circ}$ taper angle was obtained.

Tungsten carbide microshaft can be used as various micro-tools for MEMS because it has high hardness and high rigidity. In this study, experiments are performed to produce tungsten carbide micro-shaft using electrochemical etching. H$_2$SO$_4$ solution is used as electrolyte because it can dissolve tungsten and cobalt simultaneously. Optimal electrolyte concentration and machining voltage satisfying uniform shape, good surface quality, and high MRR of workpiece are experimentally found. By controlling the various machining parameters, a straight micro-shaft with 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter, 3 mm length, and 0.2$^{\circ}$taper angle was obtained.
