Fcc-TiBCN powder synthesized by boronizing of Ti was pressured into monolithic block by hot pressing (HP) method. Then the block material was machined by wire-cut EDM. The machinability and the material removal mechanisms were discussed of Fcc-TiBCN block in wire-cut EDM. Results show that the machinability of Fcc-TiBCN is satisfying. The discharge current has little relationship on surface roughness in the range of factory-adjusted optimum settings. The discharge duration and pulse interval time play an important role on the quality of machined surface and EDM machining efficiency. In order to obtain excellent quality of the machined surface, the number of power tube turned on can not exceed 6, and the pulse interval time must be as long as possible. The mini roughness of machined surface is 0.4μm~0.6μm as the number of power tube turned on is 5, the pulse interval time and discharge duration is set in the range of 20~22μs and 65~75μm, respectively. There are three material removal mechanisms of TiBCN conductive ceramic in the EDM machining process: spalling, melting and evaporation. Spalling is the main mechanism resulted by thermal stress superposing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
