To satisfy the increasing demand for processing high-performance materials in industry, a new hybrid process, Mechano-Electrochemical Milling (MECM), is developed in this research. This hybrid machining process combines the effect of both the conventional milling process and the Electrochemical Machining process (ECM). The principle of this process will be depicted in this paper. To present the effectiveness of the developed process, experiments have been carried out on Ti6Al4 V. A comparative study for ECM and MECM concerning material removal rate and shape accuracy will be presented. Further, the material removal mechanism and surface quality of the new process were investigated.
Electrochemical micromachining (ECMM) has been mostly carried out in situations demanding precision, complexity in the shapes of final components and in case the surface integrity and perfo...
