Stabilize machining condition of electrical discharge machining to minimize friction of hip implant

Electrical Discharge Machining, EDM is one of the technologies used for surface modification such as the embedded micro-dimples on the metallic acetabular cup. During the machining process, changes in the gap distance may lead to load changes from open to short circuit. Limiting the load current und...

During the machining process, changes in the gap distance may lead to load changes from open to short circuit. Limiting the load current under short circuit conditions and load voltage under open circuit conditions is the requirement in this system.

A model of Flyback power supply was designed and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK to investigate the response of the model by measuring the output voltage.

Eight micro-dimples in lower position and twelve micro-dimples in upper position, both in circular arrangement were machined on metallic acetabular cup using Flyback power supply and Linear power supply.
