Optimization of Surface Roughness in Electro Chemical Machining

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electro chemical machining seems to be the future of micro and nanomachining due to its advantages like high MRR, no tool wear, highly precise, reliability, better control over machining and so on. Surface roughness is an important factor in electro chemical machining. ECM can produce surface roughness of the order of 0.4μm. This paper is devoted to the study of micro ECM process to obtain a surface roughness of about 0.3μm in an alluminium alloy specimen using a copper electrode.
