Electrochemical Machining: Introduction, working Principle, suitable diagram,materal used, parts of usage, application, advantage, disadvantage
Introduction:- Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is based upon Faraday's law of electrolysis. Faraday's law states that the the mass of a metal altered by the electrode is proportional to the quantity of electrical charges transferred to that electrode . In ECM the removal of metal is controlled by the anodic dissolution in the electrolyte. In ECM - The workpiece acts as the anode The tool act as cathode. The electrodes should be placed closely with a gap of about 0.5 mm . The anodes and cathodes should be immersed into electrolyte. (Here Sodium Chloride). Working Principle of Electrochemical Machining:- The main principles of ECM are as follows - • A potential difference is maintained between the electrodes as a result ions existing in the electrolytes migrate towards the electrodes. • Conventionally positively charged ions are attracted towards the cathode and negative ions are attached towards to the anode. ...
