Multi-field Coupling Analysis of Electrolytic Machining of Magazine Mounts Based on COMSOL

Abstract

In electrolytic processing, the flow field of the electrolyte, the applied voltage, and the magnetic effect of the current itself have a significant effect on the stability, efficiency, and surface quality of the process. In this paper, the effects of different inlet pressures on the flow rate and different treatment voltages on the current density and magnetic induction strength are investigated by coupling several fields, such as flow, electric and magnetic fields, using COMSOL software. The simulation results show that the flow rate increases with the increase of inlet pressure, and the flow rate increases by 1 m/s for every 0.1 MPa. The current density increases with the increase of processing voltage, but its uniformity decreases, and the magnetic effect of the current itself also influences the magnitude of the current density
