Observation of gap phenomenon in electrochemical machining by using electrolyte suction tool with auxiliary anode

Abstract

In order to improve the machining accuracy of electrolytic machining, an electrolytic solution suction tool with an auxiliary anode that limits the existing area of the electrolytic solution and current flow is proposed. However, there are many unclear points about the electrolyte suction tool with the auxiliary anode. In this research, we investigated the machining phenomenon by observing the flow of the electrolyte during machining and the bubbles generated during machining with a two-dimensional electrolyte suction tool with an auxiliary anode and visualized the machining state.
