A study on the Thermal Stress Distribution for Wire Electrical Discharge by Finite Element Method

와이어 방전 가공 시 발생되는 열응력 분포에 관한 유한요소법적 고찰

The Purpose of this study is to know temperature and thermal stress distribution in specimens during processing of WEDM. If it is constant to the cutting speed and the thickness of material, it is very important to the effect of temperature and the thermal stress distribution after cutting processing. This paper show the analysis result of the distribution of temperature and the residual stress along the direction of thickness before processing of WEDM and after when the cooling temperature is$20^{\circ}C$. The maximum temperature of edge of specimens is $1600^{\circ}C$. It has little temperature gradient in the depth which is 5mm away from edge of specimens. Equivalent residual stress is result in 180.7 MPa at maximum temperature.
