Question
**Problem 1. (Electrochemical Machining)**

An ECM operation is used to cut a hole into a plate of stainless steel that is 10 mm thick. The hole has a rectangular cross-section, 15 mm by 25 mm. The operation is accomplished at a current of 1300 amps. Efficiency is 97%. Determine the feed rate and time to cut through the plate. The specific removal rate \( C \) for stainless steel is \( 2.46 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{mm}^3/\text{A-s} \).

**Problem 2. (Electric Discharge Machining)**

Iron is to be machined in an EDM operation. If the discharge current is 30 amps, what is the expected metal-removal rate? The melting point of iron is known to be 1539°C, and the metal removal rate constant of proportionality \( K \) is 664 in SI units (5.08 in U.S. customary units).
