Abstract: | This paper presents an electrochemical micromachining (ECμM) system developed with a machining gap control system. As a preliminary, electrochemical machining (ECM) experiments are carried out. The optimum machining condition of ECM is determined in terms of machining voltage, machining pulse length, amplitude of the electrode for flushing out contamination, and electrolyte concentration. After the preliminary ECM experiments, three-dimensional shape micromachining is carried out under the optimum condition. First, a prismatic electrode with a 200-μm square as the base shape is machined by ECM. Next, three-dimensional shape micromachining is carried out by scanning the prismatic electrode. A three-dimensional shape with sub-millimeter range is successfully machined. |
