Improvement of machining consistency during through-mask electrochemical large-area machining

Process capability improvement through DMAIC for aluminum alloy wheel machining

This paper first enlists the generic problems of alloy wheel machining and subsequently details on the process improvement of the identified critical-to-quality machining characteristic of A356 aluminum alloy wheel machining process. The causal factors are traced using the Ishikawa diagram and prioritization of corrective actions is done through process failure modes and effects analysis. Proce...

Mathematical Modelling of Electrochemical Machining Processes

The solution to free boundary problems arising from electrochemical machining processes is considered. A mathematical description of the machining process is presented with particular consideration given to its electrochemical properties and to the appropriateness of its treatment as a potential problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. A number of different machining configurations are consi...

Nanomanufacturing through Electrophotochemical Machining

--There are various techniques which can be used for the manufacture of microproducts, micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) based manufacturing .Broadly these techniques are photolithography, chemical etching, plating, laser fabrication. Micro machining may be seen as an ultra precision material removal process and by this process it is able to achieve micro form accuracy and nanometers finis...

Controlling Electrochemical Machining By Using a Fuzzy Logic Approach

New trends and the effect of key factors influence the quality of the holes produced by ECM processes. Researchers developed a fuzzy logic controller by adding intelligence to the ECM process. Maintaining optimum ECM process conditions ensures higher machining efficiency and performance. This paper presents the development of a fuzzy logic controller to add intelligence to the ECM process. An e...
