Electrochemical machining advantages:
1, high machining accuracy: electrochemical machining can obtain high machining accuracy, because it is a machining process based on ionic reaction, which can accurately control the distance between the electrode and the workpiece and machining parameters. This enables electrochemical machining to achieve high precision machining requirements, such as micron or even nanometer machining accuracy.
2, wide applicability: electrochemical machining can be applied to a variety of metal materials, including some difficult to process metal materials, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum and so on. This makes electrochemical machining in many applications with a wide range of applicability, able to deal with some of the traditional machining can not deal with the material.
3, high processing efficiency: electrochemical machining can obtain high processing efficiency, because it is a surface machining technology, can be completed in a short period of time a large area of processing. This enables electrochemical processing to increase productivity and shorten processing time when dealing with large quantities of materials.
4, environmental protection: the electrolyte used in the electrochemical machining process can be recycled, the amount of waste liquid is small, friendly to the environment. In addition, electrochemical machining does not produce waste cutting and dust and other pollutants, reducing environmental pollution.
5, can be processed on the complex shape of the workpiece: electrochemical machining can be realized in the complex shape of the workpiece processing, such as slots, holes, etc.. This makes electrochemical machining in the processing of some special shape and structure of the workpiece has a unique advantage, can realize the traditional machining difficult to achieve the processing effect.
