Abstract:

In this study, we firstly developed a numerical electrochemical micro-machining (EMM) setup. Furthermore, the effects of five vital process parameters, applied voltage, electrolyte type, electrode shape and diameter, electrode feed rate on micro-seams machining accuracy and process stability were evaluated. The experimental results show that: Wire electrodes machining accuracy is higher than that of sheet electrode. With the wire electrodes diameter decreased from 0.2mm to 0.06mm, micro-seam width is reduced by 36.55%. With the wire electrode feed rate increased from 0.2mm/min to 0.6mmm/min, micro-seam width is reduced by 44.2%. Sheet electrodes machining stability is better than that of wire electrode. The number of machining stability of sheet electrode is 25% higher than that of wire electrode in the condition of 8V applied voltage.
