Research on EDM of Cooling Holes in Thermal Barrier Coated-Superalloys
Aiming at the problem of long production cycle of cooling holes in the aero-engine blades with EDM method and the poor processing quality of the ND:YAG laser drilling
one step EDM of cooling holes was proposed based on assisting method. Due to significant difference in gap discharge state between ceramic coatings and superalloys
current EDM control systems were able to achieve a stable and accurate control
which cannot make a compromise on processing efficiency and quality. Therefore
Key techniques for EDM of cooling holes were studied
including discharge state identification method of thermal barrier coated-superalloy
pulse power supply and servo control strategy based on fuzzy control. Based on the above technology
the EDM control system for drilling thermal barrier coated-superalloys was developed. The comparison experiments show that compared with the conventional EDM control system
the self-developed system can improve processing efficiency by 110%
