PULSE DYNAMIC ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RAPIDLY LEVELING SURFACE OF REVOLVING PART

The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical machining and provides a pulse dynamic electrochemical machining apparatus and method for rapidly leveling a surface of a revolving part. During rotating pulse dynamic electrochemical machining, a cathode tool rotates around a center point of the cathode tool at a constant angular velocity, and an anode workpiece rotates around a center point of the anode workpiece at the constant angular velocity; meanwhile, the cathode tool performs a feed movement at a set feed velocity along a center line of the cathode tool and the anode workpiece. A control system determines a machining voltage value output by a power source when each contour point of the anode workpiece rotates to a machining area to automatically change an applied voltage between the cathode tool and the anode workpiece.

EDM assemblies mount on a machining surface and discharge rotating sub-electrodes against the surface. The sub-electrodes can also revolve about another shared axis while discharging. Rotation and revolution may be achieved with planetary gears fixed with the sub-electrodes and meshing with a stationary sun gear. Several sub-electrodes can be used in a single assembly. Downward movement of the sub-electrodes from a central shaft on the mount allows several inches of the surface to be machined. Assemblies are usable in a nuclear reactor during a maintenance period to machine a hole for a replacement manway cover underwater in the flooded reactor. The differing rotational movements and vertical movement can be independently controlled with separate motors in the assembly. Power and controls may be provided remotely through an underwater connection.
