Computer Simulation and Experimental Study of a Sequential Electrochemical - Electrodischarge Machining Process

The paper presents description of the ECMM and EDMM and the conception of combination these processes into single sequential process. The proposed method gives possibility to minimize disadvantages and emphasizes advantages of the electrochemical and electrodischarge micromachining processes. The second part overviews EC/EDMM process mathematical modeling. Upon these models the simulation software has been developed. The software enables simulation of EC/EDMM sequence for milling operation.
