SOME INVESTIGATIONS ON METAL REMOVAL IN ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING AT LOW CURRENT DENSITIES

Abstract

Electrochemical machining, a new powerful tools is one of wart's latest innovations. It has further reaching capabilities for metal removal than traditional mechanical tools#, and in many ways, is a sin ier, more direct,# fundamental method# The dissertation, presented$ includes the experimentation done on £Q4 to corelate varies parameters of the process to this work the influence of applied voltages currents gaps electrolyte used, etc,. on the machining rate surface finish has been studied* Attempts has been made to Obtain equi.ibrii Say conditions to achieve maximum machining rate and surface finish. Effects of polarization voltage on the parameters has also been st ied RQsults obtained during experimentations showing relationship between various parameters, are quite satis* factory and they coincides with the relationship obtained during theoretical analysis.'
