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...

Electrochemical machining (ECM) has been increasingly recognized for the potential for machining, while the precision of the machined profile is a concern of its application. A process to erode a hole of hundreds of micrometers on the metal surface is analyzed in the current paper. A theoretical and computational model is presented to illustrate how the machined profile evolves as the time elap...

--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...

This paper explores the electrochemical patterning of thin metal films using a scanning probe tip as an electrode. In particular, a masking nickel film is etched to reveal a gold pattern to which biomolecules like liposomes and proteins can be attached after treatment with functionalized self assembled monolayers (SAMs) of gold-thiolate. The machining is performed by ultracomplaint polyimide mi...

Article history: Received: 27.10.2014. Received in revised form: 11.12.2014. Accepted: 12.12.2014. Electrochemical machining (ECM), is an advanced manufacturing technique capable of machining hard composite materials with good tolerance. However, the huge investment and operating costs make the ECM process uneconomical. This work is hence intended to develop cost-tolerance relationship for ECM ...

in this research using statistical analysis the effect of machining parameters such as cutting velocity, feed rate, and tool type on machining power (p m ) in machining process of en-ac 48000 aluminum alloy has been studied. a taguchi l 27 standard array has been utilized as the most economical array to evaluate the factors and their interaction. en-ac 48000 alloy is frequently used in automoti...
