There are a number of hybrid machining processes (HMPs) seeking the combined advantage of EDM and other machining techniques. One such combination is wire electrical discharge grinding (WEDG), which is commonly used for micro-machining of fine and hard rods. WEDG employs a single wire guide to confine the wire tension within the discharge area between the rod and the front edge of the wire and also to minimize the wire vibration. Other advantages of WEDG include the ability to machine hard- to- machine materials with large aspect ratio.
这使得EDM特别适合加工hard, difficult- to- machine materials, such as the metal- matrix composited (MMC), Titanium, Tungsten, Zirconium, Molybdenum which are widely used in aerospace, nuclear, and automotive industries. Without WEDM the fabrication of precision workpieces reqiured many hour of manual grinding and polishing. Grinding with WEDM is one of the emerging areas developed to generate cylindrical form on hard and difficult to machine materials by adding a rotary axis to WEDM.
