Abstract:
This thesis analyses the economic efficiency of the electro-pulse process for continuous surface removal. The focus is on a comparison with two conventional processes that are suitable for continuous surface removal. To this end, the technical and economic fundamentals were analysed and a suitable application scenario was constructed. On the basis of the fundamentals and the application scenario, the costs for the use of the electric pulse process, high-pressure water jetting and milling were then calculated. The focus here was on the manufacturing costs of the individual processes. The calculations showed that the electro-pulse process is cost-competitive with high-pressure water jetting. However, the most economical method for continuous surface removal according to the findings is milling.
