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. Tool feed Tool holder and feed mechanism Formed tool (cathode).

The frontal working area of the electrode in an Electrochemical Machining (ECM) operation is 1000 mm. The applied current is 900 amps and the voltage is 12 volts. The resistivity of the electi olyte is 140 Q-mm. The material being cut has a valency of 4 and specific removal rate of 0.0342 mm /A-s. If the process efficiency is 90%, determine the material remova! rate (MRR) and inter-electrode gap after 30 minutes of machining when the resistivity of the electrolyte has dropped to 75% of its original value.

(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 = 1300 amps. Efficiency is 97%. Determine the feed rate and time to cut through the plate.
