“…ECM also creates sludge during machining which might contain harmful contaminants which is yet to be studied. Practical applications of ECM is still limited due to the difficulty of proper tool design, lack of accuracy, and inadequate control of operating parameters [17,18] like inter electrode gap, electrolyte flow rate, pulse duration, etc. Hence, sustainability study of industry scale ECM operation is yet less feasible.…”

The use of unconventional machining (UCM) practices is increasing for product manufacture particularly when machining difficult to cut materials and when high precision is required. There is plenty of research conducted on improving sustainability of traditional machining. However, sustainability studies on unconventional/non-traditional machining practices are few. This review aims to determine the current state of the art in sustainability assessment of unconventional machining practices and identify gaps in research. An extensive review was carried out and analysed using a qualitative data analysing software. The analysis shows that only 25 publications directly and indirectly discuss the matter of sustainability of UCM. Out of this almost 70% of publications were recorded after year 2006 showing a clear evidence of uncovered research gap in the field with a growing interest. Despite this trend, evidence on studies which are explicitly dedicated to analyse the sustainability of UCM are rare.

“…A response surface methodology based mathematical model has been adopted to optimize various input parameters for achieving a high material removal rate and accuracy (Bhattacharyya and Sorkhel, 1999). In addition, optimizing cathode feeding directions , using W-shaped electrolyte flow , using pulsating electrolyte flow (Fang et al, 2014), using a dual pole tool (Zhu and Xu, 2002), and using low frequency vibrations (Hewidy et al, 2007) have been proposed to improve ECM surface accuracy. However, researchers have not been paid enough attention to the surface roughness when using WEMM.…”

“…The use of a pulsating electrolyte pressure has also been proposed as a means to machine Ti-6Al-4 V with a more homogeneous and smoother surface profile [7]. Hewidy et al demonstrated that low-frequency tool vibration improved machining accuracy by changing the electrolyte conditions in the inter-electrode gap [8].…”

Progressive-pressure electrolyte flow is employed to improve efficiency and accuracy of radial electrochemical machining of blisk channels. Flow field simulation indicates that the use of progressive-pressure flow gives a high electrolyte flow rate in the inter-electrode gap, allowing a high cathode feed rate without shortcut. Experiments show that the high feed rate leads to high machining efficiency. Under the progressive-pressure flow, the surface roughnesses of the convex part, concave part, and hub of channels are reduced and the machining accuracy of the hub is enhanced. Furthermore, the allowances of the hub can be reduced by using progressive-pressure electrolyte flow.
