Study on electrochemical machining characteristics of silicon carbide material

Abstract

Silicon carbide (SiC) has been widely used in high temperature, high frequency, high power devices and other electronic fields. However, it is difficult for traditional machining method as its characteristics of high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high brittleness. In this paper, the electrochemical machining characteristics of SiC material were experimentally investigated under different electrical parameters and electrolytic solution. Also, the results and the machining conditions suitable for SiC machining were discussed.
