Моделирование процесса проволочно-вырезной электроэрозионной обработки методом конечных элементов

В статье предлагается методика моделирования процессов проволочно-вырезной электроэрозионной обработки методом конечных элементов. Описаны основные подходы к расчету тепловых полей, анализу дефектного слоя и фазовых превращений, возникающих при обработке материалов. Рассмотрена возможность использования модели для прогнозирования глубины дефектного слоя и топографии обработанной поверхности. Предложенная методика позволяет оценивать влияние параметров обработки на качество заготовок из титановых и циркониевых сплавов. Методика может применяться в авиационной и космической промышленности, медицине, судостроении и других отраслях, где требуется высокая точность обработки сложных деталей.
