A study of a new mechanical-electrochemistry polishing method with wire-combined tool

Experimental Research of Electrochemical Mechanical Polishing (ECMP) for Micro Tool Electrode

“…This constant cycle work smooths the surface quickly. This shows that the mechanical polishing process plays the role of scraping passive film, the electrochemical reaction removes the working side mental [2].…”

Assessment of abrasion-assisted material removal in wire EDM

“…Several hybrid machining processes entail abrasion as one of the constituent mechanisms by which material is removed. In electrochemical grinding, the abrasive action continually removes the passivation layer inprocess, facilitating electrochemical material removal; a variant of this process [5] uses an abrasive wire. Similarly, an abrasive-laden air jet directed at the melt pool created in laser milling/grooving processes has been shown [6] to enhance the material removal rate (MRR) while diminishing the heat affected zone and the roughness of the generated surface.…”
