| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For a purpose to improve electric discharge machinability of PCD composed of coarse diamond particles, which has been thought to be extremely difficult to EDM, in this study, a US-EDM method to give an ultrasonic vibration to an electrode in axial direction, flexural direction and complex direction that couples axial and flexural directions was attempted. As a result, it was found that EDM efficiency could be improved to 6 times higher than a standard efficiency obtained in machining conventional PCD and the electrode wear could be reduced to 1/2 by giving vibrations to the electrode in axial direction．
Furthermore, precise groove machining could be achieved on a cemented carbide workpiece by utilizing a combined method of EDM and grinding using only a single tool, i.e. a rotary PCD disc tool acting as an electrode for EDM and as a wheel for grinding.
