REVIEW OF WIRE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING OF THE ALUMINUM EXTRUSION DIE

Abstract

One of the most studied nonconventional technologies is the Electrical Discharge Machining. There is a lot of research in this area, due to the fact that the use of electric erosion machines is constantly increasing. This scientific work is a review of unconventional erosion processing processes. The importance of EDM processing of aluminum in the aerospace industry was emphasized, starting from the way of its preparation by extrusion with the help of molds. In the last part of the paper are presented the own views on the analyzed topic.
