Abstract

Several electrochemical methods are employed in the metals-processing industry because of their ability to manufacture or surface-finish metal articles, fabrications and components which are difficult or impossible to produce by traditional mechanical workshop techniques. The most important methods are electrochemical forming, machining, grinding, deburring and etching.
