Abstract:

Electrochemical honing (ECH) is an encouraging technique of gear finishing because of its micro-removal characteristic. In ECH, material removes by combined effect of anodic dissolution and mechanical abrasion. It is a hybrid micro-finishing process. ECH is a productive technique of gear finishing with high accuracy and long tool life. However, the lack of comprehensive research and complex setup design prevents it from being commercialized. This paper discusses the emphatic features of electrochemical honing of gears; its prospective features and capabilities. A comparative study is executed to explore the improvement in process capability and advantages of it. The shortcomings of the process are also discussed. Some guidelines are also mentioned for future research. It helps research community to mature this process further.
