Design of Pulsed Electrochemical Machining Processes Based on Data Processing and Multiphysics Simulation

The process principle of electrochemical machining (ECM) is based on anodic material dissolution at the interface between the workpiece surface and an electrically conductive solution without any mechanical or significant thermal impact on the workpiece surface. As the material removal mechanism is contact- and force-free it is independent of mechanical properties of the workpiece material such as strength or hardness.
