Simulation on Anode Electric Field Intensity about Electrochemical Jet Machining

Abstract:

The theory of electrochemical jet machining was introduced, and effect of different parameters on anodic electric field intensity is finite element analyzed by ANSYS software. The Simulation results show that, the electric field shares the same distribution under different electrolysis voltage, which generally contains three parts, uniform distribution area, gradually weakened area, scattered area. In the uniform distribution area, electric field shows comparative uniformity. The anode electric field generated by different jet distance is also obvious distribution areas, the electric field intensity shows decreasing trend. Electric field intensity is found to have a close relationship with electro jet nozzle diameter, in which a faster jet velocity would bring more concentrated distribution of the electric field as well as a smaller size of electric field.
