Selection of Electrolytes for Electrochemical Machining

Abstract

THE communication by Dr J. P. Hoare¹ was of interest to us because we are working along similar lines. We suggest, however, that there is a more fundamental criterion for assessing the behaviour of a metal/electrolyte system during electrochemical machining. Further, we propose that the characteristic of dimensional control attributed to chlorate electrolytes can also be achieved with simple sodium chloride solutions.
