TY - JOUR AU1 - Smolentsev, V AU2 - Kirillov, O AU3 - Kotukov, Y AB - The possibilities of combined piercing through and “blind” holes in hard-to-process materials are considered. The possibilities of intensifying the processing process by using multi-electrode tools are presented. A fundamentally new element of the new technology is the creation and use of a new working environment based on a rheological fluid with variable viscosity. This determines the conditions for mass removal of processing products from the hole forming site and creates conditions for process stabilization. The method is protected by a Russian patent and has been used in many factories countries. The article considers the technology of processing parts in the proposed working environment, which implements the proposed method in the form of a technological process in the manufacture of parts with holes of different cross-sections. At the same time, the use of combined multi-electrode cross-linking allowed up to 3 times to speed up the production of channels for cooling parts of the hot zone of thermal machines, and to achieve stability of cross-section sizes within ±5%. This technology expands the use of electrical processing methods in General and special engineering in the manufacture of parts from hard-to-process alloys.
