Unit 18 Wire-Cut EDM （电火花线切割加工） Principle of EDM线切割原理 EDM is a controlled metal removal process whereby an electric spark is used to cut (erode) the workpiece, which then takes the shape opposite to that of the cutting tool or electrode. 电火花加工是一种采用电火花放电腐蚀工件来控制金属切削的过程。加工所得工件形状与切割刀具即电极的形状相反。 此句中，whereby 相当于by which, by what，意思是“凭...，凭什么”. Which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰workpiece. The electrode and the workpiece are both submerged in a dielectric fluid, which is generally a light lubricating oil. 电极和工件都浸在绝缘液中，而常用轻润滑油作绝缘液。此液体应是电的绝缘体（或不良导体）。 This dielectric fluid should be a nonconductor (or poor conductor) of electricity. A servomechanism maintains a gap of about 0.0005 to 0.001 in. (0.01 to 0.02mm) between the electrode and the work, preventing them from coming into contact with each other. 伺服机构使电极和工件之间保持大约0.0005～0.001英寸（0.01～0.02mm）的间隙，以免它们相互接触。 A direct current of low voltage and high amperage is delivered to the electrode at the rate of approximately 20,000 hertz (Hz). 给电极通上低电压高电流的直流电，其频率大约为20000Hz。 These electrical energy impulses become sparks which jump the gap between the electrode and the workpiece through the dielectric fluid. 这些电脉冲能量转变成电火花，通过电极和工件之间的电介液放电。 在此句中,which引导的定语从句修饰sparks.句中, between the electrode and the workpiece和through the dielectric 是状语。 Intense heat is created in the localized area of the spark impact; the metal melts and a small particle of molten metal is expelled from the workpiece. The dielectric fluid, which is constantly being circulated, carries away the eroded particles of metal and also helps in dissipating the heat caused by the spark. 在放电的局部区域产生大量的热使金属熔化。一部分融化的金属从工件上脱落，不断循环的电介质溶液冲走熔化的金属并有助于散去电火花产生的热量。 There are two types of EDM machines used in industry: the vertical EDM machine and the wire-cut EDM machine(Fig.18-1A、B). Since the wire-cut EDM is generally used for machining complex forms which require NC programming, only this type will be discussed in detai
