This paper presents new machining technology of micro-EDM with lower workingvoltage in RC pulse power source. How to control the discharging energy of one pulse supplied byRC power is crucial to the technology of micro-EDM. The process of discharging has been studied,then the feasibility of machining with lower working voltage has been put forward, in order toreduce the discharge energy of one pulse effectively. On the basis of a great deal of experiments,the effect of working voltage on surface quality is studied, also the effect of working voltage onmachining efficiency has been found out and been analyzed theoretically. The result shows thatlower working voltage can reduce the working energy observably, and then improve the machiningsurface quality attended by reducing of machining efficiency. However, there is a good machiningeffect when the working voltage is about 15~20V. Considering working efficiency, a newtechnology of block electro-discharge grinding (BEDG) with lower working voltage has beenapplied. As shown by the experimental result with the technology, the minimum diameter ofmicro-shaft reaches 32m. Moreover, the micro-shaft has very high surface quality of Ra 0.1252mand its coaxial diameter error is controlled within 0.152m
