A method of three-dimensionally microcutting a metal material suitable for molds is provided. An electrolyte is interposed between a work piece which is made of a conductive material, and an electrode. Through application of an electrolysis voltage between the work piece and the electrode with the electrolyte interposed between them, a passive state film is formed on the surface of a to-be-cut part of the work piece. Then, the passive state film on the surface of the to-be-cut part of the work piece is cut.

Micro cutting method and system

An electrostatic recording head comprises an insulating substrate having a builtup structure thereon. The builtup structure includes, in the following order, a plurality of dielectric electrode strips having portions which are arranged in parallel to and kept away from one another, a first insulating layer, a plurality of discharge electrode strips each extending to intersect with the respective portions of the dielectric electrode strips, a second insulating layer having a plurality of openings to form part of an ion generating space region at individual intersected portions of said discharge electrode strips and said dielectric electrode strips, and a screen electrode which is provided to complete each ion generating space region in association with the second insulating layer and has a plurality of openings, through which ions are passed, corresponding to the respective ion generating space regions. The screen electrode is made of a member which is selected from the group consisting of metals, noble metals and alloys mainly composed of these metals and which has a melting point not lower than 1500.degree. C. Alternatively, the screen electrode may be made of a core member and a surface layer which is made of the above metal member, or an oxidation-resistant material such as an inorganic compound, a polymer or a metal alkoxide polymer.
