A REVIEW ON ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING AND MICRO-MACHINING

Abstract


The current review paper deals with the state of the art of electrochemical machining and micro-machining. There are many researchers who made experimental investigations on the machining parameters that fits the best and who are correlated with the surface roughness and material removal rate. The electrochemical process parameters such as material for workpiece and tool, its shape and dimensions, electrical parameters and electrolytes were taken into consideration for the analysis. The input and output parameters, methodology of the research, the trends in the state of art, and the difference between micro and macro machining (hybrid processes included) were the main criteria for the current review.
