Avoid Multiple Setups with Electrochemical Machining for Aerospace Applications

[@250smacks]

How do you remove 5 to 7mm per minute? Im running DC 7.5 A and dont get close to that? Where can I learn more about this technology? Any books? Theres limited videos on it

@zomgthisisawesomelol yes it is, I think theyre lying

[@JaakkoF]

@@250smacks You are running 7.5 A, which is pennies compared to commercial operations, that easily run 100-1000 times that, meaning material removal rate goes up also almost 100-1000x.

[@250smacks]

@@JaakkoF True.

the secret is not in the electromagnetic waves, but in the speed of the pumping. Electromagnetic waves travel at 300km per second, but the electrolyte is moving a the speed of your pumping device (like 1 meter per second?). Get the pump close to the speed of light and you will make your work piece disappear in femtoseconds.

@@absolute___zero And the different electrolyte-compositions they use, as he said... 1to10 per weight isn´t probably the only concentration they´ll use, unlike most hobbyists... Also, 7,5A is indeed little...
