Review on Recent Research in Electrochemical Machining Using Ultra Short Pulses

Abstract

Recently, the use of ultra short pulses of nanosecond duration has changed ECM into promising technology with nanometer resolution. This paper reviewed recent research in nano/micro ECM using ultra short voltage pulses. The mechanism of the process is described and machining parameters, including electrolyte and pulse conditions, are discussed. Applications of micro ECM such as electrochemical drilling, electrochemical milling and wire ECM are described. Machining samples of nano and micro ECM are also presented.
