Description of Electrode wear. The electrode heating and force during the resistance welding process cause the surface area of the tip face to deform over time. The surface area increase causes the current density (amps/unit area) to decrease, potentially reducing the weld size. (The current density can be increased by using a current stepper.)
A wide range of crucial applications, including dies and the automobile industry, use the non-traditional cutting process known as EDM.

The discharging process causes severe electrode wear and the electrode wear amount depends on the EDM conditions and machining time. The initial vertical cross section of the electrode is rectangular and wears down into a round cone-like shape (Fig. 2). The variation in electrode edge shape leads to different electrode wear.
The electrodes wear unevenly in the discharge chamber, which also causes degradation in pulse-to-pulse energy stability and changes in the beam profile. Electrode wear occurs as the fluorine continually repassivates the electrode surfaces and as electrical arching ablates the metal surface. The composition of the electrode is critical (many ...
