Abstract

• Development of in-house Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) setup. • Parametric study to assess printability of pure Cu metal on Ni-metallic sheets. • Rectangular and convex profiles formed on Ni-sheets at different nozzle diameters. • The average profile height varied between 2.56 µm and 30.46 µm. • The adhesion strength of the printed part was limited to a maximum force of 9 N. The work presents the parametric study to assess the printability of pure metal on Ni-sheets using Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) process. Layer-by-layer linear profiles are printed using an in-house developed ECAM setup. The effect of printing parameters, i.e., nozzle orifice diameter (d n ), printing time (t n ), and traverse speed of nozzle (s n ) on the profile dimensions (width and height), is studied. Results indicate the stability of features as nozzle size varies from higher to lower dimension, allowing easy formation of minuscule at its tip. The average profile width varied between 195.8 µm and 2401.4 µm, and profile height between 2.56 µm and 30.46 µm.
