Abstract  

Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) combines the process characteristics of both electric discharge machining (EDM) and electrochemical machining (ECM). ECDM combines the advantages of both processes to achieve high precision and high surface-quality machining. It has a broad application prospect. This paper briefly introduces the development history of ECDM. The machining mechanism of ECDM is explained. The applications of ECDM machining features are listed, including drilling, milling, turning, cutting, and hybrid machining methods, for process performance enhancement. A comprehensive analysis of the process parameters of ECDM and their impact on process performance is presented. The paper surveys the extensive ECDM research and concludes with a discussion of the future direction of ECDM.
