Damage Due to Electric Spark Discharge Machining of Zinc

Abstract

Electric spark discharge machining has been observed to produce severe damage in the form of kinking and slip in single crystals of high-purity zinc. A mechanism by which conditions of plastic anisotropy, relatively high machining temperatures and loading from spark discharge machining interact to produce this damage is proposed. A method for preventing the damage is explained.
