Abstract

The mechanism by which electrolytic products are removed during ECM of Inconel 718 in a C6H5K3O7 electrolyte was clarified. Experimental results revealed that Cit3− ions decrease the amounts of flocculent and insoluble products in the machining region considerably. The resulting passivating film presented a looser, more porous structure than that from a NaNO3 solution. This made the Inconel 718 more prone to electrochemical corrosion. The uniformity and microscale nature of the micro-pit structure dispersed on the machined surface improved substantially as the current density increased. This improved the surface quality dramatically. Finally, the anodic dissolution characteristic models were established.
