HOCHEFFIZIENTES HERSTELLUNGSVERFAHREN AUF BASIS VON HOCHDICHTEN RADIKALREAKTIONEN UNTER VERWENDUNG EINER ROTIERENDEN ELEKTRODE, VORRICHTUNG UND ROTIERENDE ELEKTRODE HIERFÜR

摘要

There are provided a method for performing high-efficiency machining by high-density radical reaction using a rotating electrode, in which a large amount of the reaction gas is supplied to a machining gas between a machining electrode and a workpiece under control, and the limit value of a making power is elevated so that the density of neutral radicals is increased to remarkably improve the machining rate 10 to 100 times as large as the conventional machining rate, and the prevention of arc discharge and the thermal stabilization are made. An endless machining electrode and the workpiece are disposed in gas atmosphere containing a reactive gas and an inactive gas with a machining gap therebetween, and a high-frequency power is supplied to the machining electrode, and the machining electrode is rotated at a high speed to move the surface of the machining electrode with respect to the machining progress portion at a high speed and to catch the gas by the surface of the machining electrode, thereby forming a gas flow which is transverse to the machining gap, and a volatile material generated by the radical reaction of the neutral radicals produced in plasma generated in the machining gap with atoms or molecules which constitute the machining progress portion of the workpiece is gasified and removed to progress machining.
