Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the invention has the following advantages:

in the embodiment of the invention, a metal lamination is formed by laminating and combining a first preset number of first metal foils and a second preset number of second metal foils; wherein the resistivity of the first metal foil is greater than the resistivity of the second metal foil; performing a first processing treatment on the metal lamination; carrying out second processing treatment on the metal laminated layer by adopting preset parameters to form an electrode blank; and carrying out electric spark machining treatment on the electrode blank to form a preset working surface profile to obtain the target electrode.

Next, a method of producing the multi-material laminated electrode in the present exemplary embodiment will be further described.

As described in step S110, a first preset number of first metal foils and a second preset number of second metal foils are stacked and combined to form a metal stack; wherein the resistivity of the first metal foil is greater than the resistivity of the second metal foil; wherein the first metal foil has a melting point lower than that of the second metal foil; the first metal foils and the second metal foils are arranged at intervals in a lamination combination mode, the number of the first metal foils is more than that of the second metal foils, and the outermost metal foils on the two sides of the metal lamination are necessarily the first metal foils.

As described in step S120, the metal stack is subjected to a first processing.

In an embodiment, the specific process of "fixing the metal stack" in step S120 can be further described with reference to the following description.

The method comprises the following steps of clamping the metal lamination by two parallel metal plates; when the metal lamination is fixed, a clamp is generally adopted to fix the metal lamination, and because the thickness of the metal foil in the metal lamination is very thin, before the metal lamination is clamped by an upper clamp, a metal plate with the size slightly smaller than that of the metal lamination is generally adopted to clamp the metal lamination;

fixing the metal lamination with the metal plates arranged on the two sides in a clamp, and placing the metal lamination clamped by the metal plates into the clamp for clamping so as to prevent the metal lamination from deforming due to the clamp; the material of the metal plate is preferably a high-rigidity metal material, such as: stainless steel sheet, hard alloy plate.

In an embodiment, the specific process of "performing the first processing on the metal stack" in step S120 can be further described with reference to the following description.

And performing wire electric discharge machining of a preset path on the metal lamination with the metal plates arranged on the two sides to obtain the metal lamination with the metal plates arranged on the two sides in a preset shape.

In general, the wire-cut electric discharge machining is non-dry electric discharge machining, and is performed in a predetermined path to obtain a laminated electrode material having a predetermined shape

As mentioned in step S130, performing a second processing on the metal stack by using preset parameters to form an electrode blank;

in an embodiment, the specific process of "performing the second processing on the metal stack to form the electrode blank using the preset parameters" in step S130 can be further described with reference to the following description.

In the method, the side surface of the metal laminate having the metal plates on both sides of the predetermined shape is subjected to dry wire electrical discharge machining using a first predetermined sub-parameter to form a fused connection layer structure on the side wall of the metal laminate, and the side wall of the metal laminate is subjected to dry wire electrical discharge machining using a large energy parameter (current 2.1A) to form a fused connection layer on the side wall of the metal laminate by using instantaneous heat generated by spark discharge, thereby closely connecting the metal foils of the respective layers on the side surface.

In an embodiment, the specific process of "performing the second processing on the metal stack to form the electrode blank using the preset parameters" in step S130 can be further described with reference to the following description.

Performing dry wire electrical discharge machining on the metal laminate with the metal plates arranged on the two sides of the preset shape by adopting a second preset sub-parameter to correct the size of the metal laminate; the sidewalls of the metal stack can be dry wire-cut electro-discharge machined with small energy parameters (current 0.42A) to improve electrode preparation accuracy.

The metal plate at the projecting jig portion may be removed by wire electric discharge machining, and after the finish machining, the metal plate having a large rigidity at both sides of the electrode may be removed by wire electric discharge machining, thereby obtaining an electrode blank that is substantially integral, as described in the following procedure.

It should be noted that the first preset sub-parameter and the second preset sub-parameter include one or more of a machining current value, a machining voltage value and a machining speed, in the implementation of the present invention, a current value is preferred, and in the implementation of the present invention, the machining current value in the first preset sub-parameter is greater than the machining current value in the second preset sub-parameter,

it should be noted that, in any embodiment of the present invention, the large energy parameter and the small energy parameter are only described in a relative manner, that is, the high ratio of the two is the large energy parameter, and the low ratio is the small energy parameter.

As described in step S140, the electrode blank is subjected to an electric discharge machining process to form a preset working surface profile, so as to obtain a target electrode. And utilizing the different electrical discharge machining loss rates of the metal foils in the metal lamination layer caused by the different resistivity and melting points of the first metal foil and the second metal foil to ensure that the end surfaces of the metal lamination layer gradually lose to form a stable preset working surface profile, thereby obtaining the laminated target electrode with the micro-groove connection structure, wherein the size length of the target electrode is the length of the metal lamination layer exposed out of the clamp.

It should be noted that, when the electrode manufactured by the method of the present invention is used for electrical discharge machining, the machining of the micro-groove of the workpiece depends on the second metal foil with low resistivity in the laminated electrode, and the first metal foil with high resistivity in the electrode plays a role in supporting and anti-destabilizing the second metal foil with low resistivity in real time, so that the rigidity is improved, and therefore, the method is particularly suitable for the electrical discharge machining of the blind micro-groove with a large depth-to-width ratio.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2-5, the first metal foil stock used in this embodiment is 300 μm thick tin foil, the second metal foil stock is 50 μm thick copper foil, and the metal plate stock is stainless steel sheet.

The preparation steps are as follows:

first, 4 sheets of 300 μm tin foil and 3 sheets of 50 μm copper foil are alternately laminated and combined, and sandwiched between two stainless steel sheets having high rigidity. The target electrode is clamped and fixed through a clamp, and the length required by exposing the target electrode is 30 mm;

secondly, machining according to a given path by adopting wire electrical discharge machining to obtain a primary electrode blank, as shown in figure 1;

thirdly, performing dry wire electrical discharge machining rough machining on the side wall of the electrode blank by adopting a current parameter of 2.1A, and generating a layer of molten connection layer on the side wall of the electrode blank by using instantaneous heat generated by spark discharge so as to tightly connect metal foils of each layer of the electrode blank on the side surface of an electrode, as shown in figure 2;

fourthly, performing dry type wire-cut electrical discharge machining on the side wall of the electrode blank by adopting a current parameter of 0.42A to improve the electrode preparation precision, and then removing stainless steel sheets on two sides of the electrode blank by adopting wire-cut electrical discharge machining to obtain the electrode blank which is similar to a whole, as shown in figure 3;

fifthly, using the electrode blank to carry out multiple rounds of electric spark machining with fixed depth at different positions of the same metal workpiece, using metal foils made of different materials to have different electric spark machining loss rates, gradually losing the end face of the laminated electrode to form a preset working face profile, thereby obtaining a target electrode, and then using the target electrode to prepare a blind micro-groove structure through micro electric spark machining, as shown in figure 4. When the electrode manufactured by the method is used for electric spark machining, the machining of the micro-groove of the workpiece depends on the second metal foil with low resistivity in the laminated electrode, the first metal foil with high resistivity in the electrode plays a role in supporting and resisting instability in real time on the second metal foil with low resistivity, and the rigidity is improved, so that the method is particularly suitable for electric spark machining of the blind micro-groove with a large depth-width ratio.
