| description | This study examines the capabilities and optimisation of electrochemical jet machining (ECJM), a component of the electrochemical machining (ECM) production chain. A localised electrolyte jet helps remove material from selective areas; it is a suitable process for contoured parts and hard-to-machine material without inflicting thermal or mechanical stresses. In this regard, the study incorporates details of an experimental layout and variation in parameters in terms of voltage, electrolyte concentration, and jet velocity. The most striking findings indicate that the material removal rate and surface quality are susceptible to parameters such as applied voltage and stand-off distance, and electrolyte concentration and jet velocity (via electrolyte supply rate) fixed. Higher voltages and fixed electrolyte concentrations give higher removal rates, though this might impair the surface finish, thereby requiring a trade-off at best. These results provide insights into optimising process parameters for enhanced precision and efficiency in ECJM. Future research could focus on advanced electrolytes and improving scalability for industrial applications. |
