Fabrication of Surface Modification Layer on Stainless Steel by Electrical Discharge Machining

Abstract
A stainless steel (SUS 304) was machined by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) with a sialon and chromium electrode. According to the EDMed conditions, the deformed stainless steel surface turned to the coated surface with an electrode components. The following experimental factors were investigated to produce the modified surface: electrode polarity, work atmosphere, peak current, pulse duration and duty factor. In the suitable worked conditions, the modified layer had good corrosion and wear resistance.
