Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are now gaining their usage in aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries because of their inherent properties like high strength to weight ratio, low wear rate etc. To machine these types of materials conventional machining methods are unsuitable because of high tool wear and tooling cost. Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is one of the important non-tradition...

Electrochemical discharge micro-machining (micro-ECDM) has the ability to machine electrically nonconducting materials as compared with different existing traditional and also non-traditional machining processes. This paper deals with the effects of different process parameters like applied voltage (V), electrolyte concentrations(wt%), pulse frequency and duty ratio on different machining perfo...

The weak formulation of moving boundary problems with possibly vanishing specific heat, that is governed by parabolic and/or elliptic differential equations, is developed. The uniqueness of the resulting weak solution is then proved. This approach is used to obtain numerical solutions to some physical examples, which arise in electrochemical machining processes, and in saturated / unsaturated f...
