Abstract

Micro-electric discharge machining (micro-EDM) has become an important issue in the fabrication of microcomponents, especially after the development of the wire electro discharge grinding (WEDG) technology. However, the fabrication of microelectrodes through the WEDG technology is very complicated and time consuming, which limits the extensive industrial application of micro-EDM. This article reports the feasibility of utilizing carbon fiber as the electrode in micro-EDM. A novel chucking method and device are developed to chunk the extremely slender carbon fiber. The experiment results show that carbon fiber is a promising material in micro-EDM.
