Through-mask electrochemical micromachining (TMEMM) is a promising method to prepare micro dimples on the surface of metallic parts. However, the workpiece is machined one by one in traditional TMEMM. This paper introduced bidirectional pulse to TMEMM to improve the machining efficiency. Two masked...

description | Through-mask electrochemical micromachining (TMEMM) is a promising method to prepare micro dimples on the surface of metallic parts. However, the workpiece is machined one by one in traditional TMEMM. This paper introduced bidirectional pulse to TMEMM to improve the machining efficiency. Two masked workpieces were placed face to face, and connected to the ends of the bidirectional pulse power supply. Along with the change of the pulse direction, the polarities of the two workpieces were interchanged periodically, and micro dimples could be prepared on both workpieces at one time. The simulation and experiment results indicated that with bidirectional pulse mode, micro dimples with same the profile can be prepared on two workpieces at one time, and the dimension of micro dimple was smaller than that with unidirectional pulse mode. In bidirectional pulse current, the pulse frequency and pulse duty cycle played an important role on the preparation of micro dimple. With high pulse frequency and low pulse duty cycle, it is useful to reduce the undercut of micro dimple and improve the machining localization. With the pulse duty cycle of 20% and pulse frequency of 10 kHz, micro dimples with etch factor (EF) of 3 were well prepared on both workpieces surface. |
