Characteristics of electrochemical machining
What are the various process characteristics of the ECM?
What are the advantages of electrochemical machining?
What is the principle of electrochemical machining?
In electrochemical machining, positive ions move towards the tool, and negative ions move towards the workpiece. This is the opposite of electroplating. As electrons cross the gap between the workpiece and the tool, metal ions come away from the workpiece.
What are the applications of electrochemical machining?
What is the advantages and disadvantages of electrochemical machining?
The rate of machining does not depend on the hardness of the work piece material. The tool does not wear. Soft materials (e.g., copper) may be used for tool fabrication. No stresses are produced on the work piece surface.
What are the limitations of EDM?
The slow rate of material removal. The additional time and cost used for creating electrodes for Ram/Sink EDM. Reproducing sharp corners on the work piece is difficult due to electrode wear.
What are the major application of ECM?
What are the differences between ECM & EDM?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of laser beam machining?
It produces finish part or high surface finish. No tool wear because no physical tool is used. Micro holes can be drilled accurately. Complex shape can be machined easily because laser can be move in any path.

What are the electrolyte used in ECM?
Which type of energy is used in electro chemical machining?
How is material removed in electrochemical machining?
What are the two main criteria for selecting the electrolyte in ECM?
- · Required Machining rate.
- · Required Dimensional Accuracy.
- · Surface Texture and Integrity.
