Electrochemical Discharge Machining Micro-Hole in Stainless Steel with Tool Electrode High-Speed Rotating

Abstract

Electrochemical discharge machining with high-speed micro-electrode is a micro-machining process based on the fundamental of electrochemical discharge principle. The process has been applied in metal for drilling micro-holes. Drilling of micro-holes in stainless steel is a challenge working. A few qualitative conclusions are obtained by drilling micro-holes in stainless steel by electrochemical discharge machining with high-speed electrode using pure water as electrolyte. An experimental setup was established. A micro-hole was drilled in stainless steel successfully.
