Abstract
Electrochemical machining (ECM) has been widely used in manufacturing owing to its capability of machining hard metals in the absence of mechanical stress, heat-affected zone, and tool wear. Allowance in microelectrochemical (micro-ECM) machining can be removed in electrochemical drilling, milling, or cutting through a relative movement between a workpiece and a universal electrode tool. The purpose of this chapter is to review the state-of-the-art development and capabilities of micro-ECM technology. Some key fundamentals of microelectrochemical machining, e.g., principle, ...
