Abstract: | The feasibility of the electrochemical machining (ECM) of pure TiC, ZrC, TiB2 and ZrB2 has been established. In addition, the ECM behaviour of a cemented TiC/10% Ni composite has been investigated and compared to that of its components, TiC and nickel. ECM was carried out in 2M KNO3 and in 3 M NaCl at applied voltages of 10–31 V and current densities of 15–115 A cm–2. Post-ECM surface studies on the TiC/Ni composite showed preferential dissolution of the TiC phase during machining.Nomenclature
