Abstract
Electrochemical machining (ECM) presents numerous applications in the production of aero-engine components. The effects of current density on surface quality during ECM of René 88DT in NaCl-ethylene glycol and NaNO3-aqueous solutions was investigated here. The results indicated that the René 88DT surface has lower sensitivity to current density and more homogeneous electrochemical dissolution in NaCl-glycol solution than in NaNO3-aqueous solution, which results in the suppression of stray corrosion and consistently high surface quality regardless of current density. These strengths are attributed that C2H5O2- and Cl- ions replace OH– ions and combine with alloy ions to form solubles and complexes, which prevent the formation of obstructive passive film, oxide layer, and insoluble electrolytic products. The electrochemical dissolution model in two solutions was established. Furthermore, the high tensile strength and precision machinability of René 88DT in NaCl-glycol solution were also demonstrated.
