CAPACITOR DISCHARGE METAL FORMING
Abstract
The design features of a trigger switch for 960 uf 18 kv discharges are discussed. The experimental techniques and analytical procedures developed for determining the energy at each stage of the discharge cycle are described. The four stages of energy which are of interest are the stored capacitor energy, the energy to the underwater spark, the energy in the pressure wave and the deformation energy in the workpiece. An analysis of the energy transfer through the system will provide data on the energy dissipated at each stage and permit the determination of the optimum process techniques during the process development.
