| Abstract: | A better understanding of high rate anodic dissolution processes is urgently required for electrochemical micromachining (EMM) to become a widely employed manufacturing process in the electronic and precision manufacturing industries particularly in the micromanufacturing domain. A successful attempt has been made to develop an EMM setup for carrying out in depth independent research for achieving satisfactory control of electrochemical machining process parameters to meet the micromachining requirements. The developed EMM setup mainly consists of various sub-components and systems, e.g., mechanical machining unit, microtooling system, electrical power and controlling system and controlled electrolyte flow system, etc. All these system components are integrated in such a way that the developed EMM system setup will be capable of performing basic and fundamental research in the area of EMM fulfilling the requirements of micromachining objectives. |
