Abstract

To determine the relationship between the pulse current and the physicochemical properties of multi-time scales, a method of multi-time scale simulation is introduced to investigate multi-time scale evolution of temperature and void fraction in PECM process. A multi-time scale iterations method is introduced to reduce computation time of multi-time scale simulation. Simulation results indicate that the method is efficient and pulse current can make the PECM process more stable. Experimental results show that the multi-time scale simulation results can well match the actual machining results, especially in the middle section of the workpiece.
