Electrochemical micromachining: An introduction Rebecca ...
Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a nonconventional manufacturing process which relies on duplicating the shape of the tool electrode into the workpiece via the anodic dissolution of the workpiece. 1 –7 In ECM, both the tool electrode and the workpiece are submerged in an electrically conductive electrolyte, usually an aqueous salt solution such as sodium chloride (NaCl) or sodium nitrate ...
