Abstract
The geometric accuracy of the machined surface after WEDM can generally be understood as complying with the requirements of shape, position, orientation and runout accuracy. Its level is usually quantified by the respective deviations from the nominal value. Even though WEDM technology is one of the most accurate finishing machining technologies, when manufacturing curved shapes or rotational surfaces there are certain deviations from the desired geometric shape or dimension. Therefore, the aim of the applied experimental research was to contribute to the database of existing knowledge, which can clearly define the extent of the influence for a specific combination of workpiece material EN S355J0 and wire electrode material parameters CuZn37 through a clear formulation of individual laws in relation to geometric precision of curved surfaces after WEDM. The subsequent aim was, based on the analysis of the obtained results, to determine the primary causes of the occurrence of geometric deviations, and to propose recommendations for their elimination.
