Abstract
This paper reports the cutting mechanism in micro-electrical discharge drilling (µEDD) during a micro-dimpling process. A combination of fundamental micro-drilling and micro-electrical discharge machining (µEDM) is considered the main mechanism in the µEDD process. First, the cutting force in micro-drilling was modeled on a chisel and lip section based on a mechanistic model of the oblique cutting. Second, the model of the µEDM was also included based on uniform heat flux. Experiments of a micro-dimple were carried out on a titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) to confirm the model validity. The validation confirms that the proposed cutting force model can be applied to predict the thrust force during micro-dimpling under µEDD. In addition, a micro-dimple morphology is also discussed.

This paper proposes the cutting mechanism during the fabrication of a micro-dimple on a titanium alloy using micro-electrical discharge drilling (µEDD). The µEDD method is a combination of two methods: Micro-drilling [1] and micro-electrical discharge machining (µEDM) [2]. The micro-dimple was manufactured using a rotating micro-drilling tool (drill bit) and a discharge plasma spark to reduce the cutting energy during the micro-dimpling process. The fabrication of a micro-dimple on the surface brought benefits, such as a reduced coefficient of friction and wear between two lubricated contact surfaces [3]. In most cases, a micro-dimple was manufactured on a soft material, such as aluminum alloy. Mechanical manufacturing methods, such as vibration texturing [4], ball-end milling [5], and elliptical vibration-assisted cutting [6] are used frequently to fabricate micro-dimples on soft materials. On the other hand, there are few publications on the fabrication of
