Single crystal diamond has been machined by carbon steel for getting bulk shape. This machining method of diamond has achieved by utilization of diamond graphitization and tool wear during cutting process. This study is concerning the calculation of the removal rate of diamond during this process.
With the help of higher electrode jump rates, higher electrode jumps can be obtained in linear motor equipped EDM. In this study, the effect of electrode jump height on machining speed and depth is experimentally investigated. From the experiments, a new definition named "Machining speed break point" is introduced and then it is theoretically calculated from a proposed electrode jump and debris exclusion model. Additionally, an algorithm is developed to calculate the accumulation of debris in machining gap. The results of the algorithm showed that the debris concentration begins to increase drastically near the machining speed break point.
