Original abstract
Owing to its magnetic properties, pure iron is among materials investigated with a view to their use for improving existing memory media. Experimental equipment made of pure iron is prepared by using lithographic methods and magnetron sputtering, putting specific technological requirements on the input material. The non-conventional method of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) was used for the pure iron target in order to meet those requirements. The present study was devoted to the topology and morphology of the iron target machined by the electrical discharge method. Morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as a method capable of visualising the contrast between the pure iron and the copper from the electrode material diffusing on the machined surface. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was used to analyse the local chemical composition. The machined surface topography was examined based on its areal and profile parameters.

Čisté železo díky svým magnetickým vlastnostem patří mezi materiály zkoumané z hlediska zlepšení dosavadních paměťových medií. Příprava experimentálních zařízení z tohoto materiálu probíhá pomocí litografických technik a magnetronového naprašování, které klade specifické technologické požadavky na vstupní materiál. Ke splnění těchto požadavků byla pro terč z čistého železa použita nekonvenční technologie elektroerozivní drátové řezání (WEDM). Tato studie se zaměřuje na zkoumání topologie a morfologie povrchu elektroerozivně obrobe-ného terče. Ke studiu morfologie byla využita elektronová mikroskopie (SEM), která je schopna poskytnout zobrazení materiálového kontrastu mezi čistým železem a materiálem měděné elektrody difundované na obro-beném povrchu. Lokální analýza chemického složení byla provedena metodou energiové disperzní rentgenové spektroskopie (EDX). Dále byla věnována pozornost topografii obrobené plochy na základě plošných a profilo-vých parametrů.
