The frontal working area of the electrode in an ECM operation is 2000 mm?. The applied current is 2000 amps
and the voltage is 12 volts. The material being cut is nickel (valence = 2, CN; =3.42x10-2mm2/A-s). (a) If the
process is 90% efficient, determine the cutting rate into the workpart. (b) If the resistivity of the electrolyte is
160 ohm – mm, determine the working gap.

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 = 1300 amps. Efficiency is 97%. Determine the feed rate and time to cut
through the plate. The specific removal rate C for stainless steel = 2.46 × 10-2 mm3/A-s.

- Manufacuring Processes An electro chemical machining (ECM) operation is employed too cut a square hole in a copper plate of 18 mm thickness. The dimensions of the hole is 20 mm on each side, however, the electrode dimension shall be slightly less than 20 mm to allow for overcut, and its shape includes a hole in its center to permit the flow of electrolyte and reduce the area of cut. The frontal area of electrode is 180 mm2. The specific removal rate for copper is C = 7.35 x 10-2 mm3/A-s. The applied current is 950 A. At 90 % efficiency, determine the time required to cut a hole of required dimensions.arrow_forwardHow does an Electrical Discharge Machining remov material from work piece?arrow_forwardPlease do all ques with explanationarrow_forward
