Abstract

Electrochemical micro machining is a critical micro machining technology. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) complex electrolyte in electrochemical micro machining (ECM) of stainless steel. The micro machining of stainless steel is difficult by electrochemical machining, especially in machining deep micro holes, because of an oxide layer formed on the surface. In this paper, ECM of stainless steel in EDTA complex electrolyte was researched. The influence of electrochemical machining parameters such as pulse duration, electrolyte composition to machine stainless steel was investigated. The results showed that EDTA can enhance the stability of electrochemical machining and the electrolyte is eco-friendly.
