Analysing Energy Consumption and Productivity in Die Sinking Electrical Discharge Machining of PCD materials

This study examines the application of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) in the processing of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools.It focuses on machining parameters, material removal mechanisms, and energy consumption, while also addressing the challenges posed by PCD's low electrical conductivity and unique structure.The experimental findings indicate that, although PCD can be processed using EDM, energy losses and residue formation significantly impact productivity.The research underlines the importance of optimizing parameters to enhance the efficiency of machining PCD-based materials.
