Pulse electrochemical micromachining offers significant improvements in dimensional accuracy as compared with conventional electrochemical machining. One primary issue in pulse electrochemical micromachining is to identify and control machining depth as well as interelectrode gap size. This paper presents an identification method for the machining depth by in-process analysis of machining current and interelectrode gap size. The inter electrode gap characteristics, including pulse current, effective volumetric electrochemical equivalent and electrolyte conductivity variations, are analysed based on the model and experiments.

Electrochemical micro-machining(EMM) is used to achieve a desired workpiece surface by dissolving the metal workpiece with an electrochemical reaction. This machining method can be applied to metal that is difficult to machining using other methods. The workpiece dissolves when it is positioned close to the tool electrode in electrolyte and current is applied. This aim of this work is to develop electrochemical micro-machining(EMM) technique for micro groove shape by establishing appropriate electrochemical parameters of machining

A specially-built EMM (Electrochemical Micro Machining) / PECM (Pulse Electrochemical Machining) cell, a electrode tool filled with non-conducting material, a electrolyte flow control system and a small & stable gap control unit are developed to achieve accurate dimensions of recesses. Two electrolytes, aqueous sodium nitrate and aqueous sodium chloridc arc applied in this study. The farmer electrolyte has better machine-ability than the latter one because of its appropriate changing to the transpassive state without pits on the surface of workpiece. It is easier to control the machining depth precisely by micrometer with pulse current than direct current. This paper also presents an identification method for the machining depth by in-process analysis of machining current and inter electrode gap size. The inter electrode gap characteristics, inc1uding pulse current, effective volumetric electrochemical equivalent and electrolyte conductivity variations, are analyzed based on the model and experiments.

Electrochemical micromachining which is not normally considered as a precision process is presented in this paper. The application of voltage Pulses between a tool electrode and a workpiece in an electrochemical environment allows the three-dimensional machining of conducting materials with micrometer precision. In this paper tool-electrodes($5\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, 1mm in length) are developed by electrochemical micromaching and micro holes are manufactured using this tool-electrodes we developed already. Micro holes are achieved the accuracy below $50\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter using ultrashort voltage pulses(0.1-5$\mu\textrm{s}$).

This research aimed to fabricate a micro structure using micro electrochemical machining (${\mu}$-ECM). with a view to that the theory of ${\mu}$-ECM is established accurately in a different way of conventional electrochemical machining. In details, if the impedance is existed in the system, it is difficult to analyze the micro electrochemical reaction efficiently in polarization curve using a potentiodynamic test. Hence, this research investigates the relationships between impedance and electric current measuring with a potentiostatic test applying to a pair or electrode as a constant potential. And this paper examines the influence of temperature of electrolyte on polarization curve for the quantitative analysis of electrochemical reactions.

전자기력을 이용한 자기연마 공정은 전통적 가공방식으로 버를 제거하기 힘든 비자성체의 소재 및 마이크로 형상의 가진 제품에 활용될 수 있는 새로운 정밀 디버링 방식이다. 그러나 이러한 자기연마법은 자기연마입자를 이용한 기계적 절삭력을 이용하고 있기 때문에 마이크로 단위의 구조물의 형상을 변형시킬 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브-코발트 금속복합체를 이용한 전해-자기복합가공을 STS316 소재의 미세 그루브의 마이크로 디버링공정에 적용하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 자기연마공정을 적용한 공정에서는 공정 후 그루브에 생성된 버는 효율적으로 제거되었으나 그루브 끝단의 형상변화가 두드러지게 관찰되었다. 반면 전해-자기복합가공을 이용한 경우에는 재료제거율이 낮아 그루브 끝단의 형상변화 없이 디버링 공정이 진행됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, wire electrochemical machining (Wire ECM) with ultra short pulses is presented. Platinum wire with $10{\mu}m$ diameter was used as a tool and 304 stainless steel was locally dissolved by electrochemical machining in 0.1M $H_{2}SO_4$ electrolyte. Wire ECM can be easily applied to the fabrication of arbitrarily shaped micro-grooves without tool wear. The change of machining gap according to applied pulse voltage, pulse on-time and pulse period was investigated and the optimal pulse condition for stable machining was obtained. Using this method, various micro-grooves with less than $20{\mu}m$ width were fabricated.

Magnetic abrasive polishing is one of the most promising finishing methods applicable to complex surfaces. Nevertheless this process has a low efficiency when applied to very hardened materials. For this reason, EP-MAP hybrid process was developed. EP-MAP process is expected to machine complex and hardened materials. In this research, deburring process using EP-MAP hybrid process was proposed. EP-MAP deburring process is applied to micro channel, thereby it can obtain both deburring process and polishing process. EP-MAP deburring process on the micro channel was performed. Through design of experiment method, error of height in this process according to process parameter is analyzed. When the level 1 parameter A(magnetic flux density) and level 2 parameter B(electric potential), C(working gap) and level 3 parameter D(feed rate) are applied in the deburring process using EP-MAP hybrid process, it provides optimum result of EP-MAP hybrid deburring process.

An EP(Electrolytic Polishing)-MAP(Magnetic Abrasive Polishing) hybrid process was applied to remove burr on the micro pattern. Micro pattern fabrication processes are combined with micro milling and EP-MAP hybrid process for deburring. Depending on the micro milling conditions which are applied, micro burrs are formed around the side and top of the pattern. The EP-MAP deburring is used to remove these burrs effectively. To optimize removal rate and form error in the EP-MAP hybrid process, a design of experiment was performed. The effect of deburring process and form error of micro pattern are evaluated via SEM images and the results of AFM.

This research aimed at from the establishment of theory on micro electrochemical machining mechanism to the implementation of a practical fabrication system of micro parts. In detail, the mechanism of micro-ECM was investigated with potentiodynamic method and the optimal condition for micro-ECM was selected by voltage-current-time curve with potentiostatic method. From the experimental result, the micro part which has extremely fine surface could be fabricated by use of micro-ECM with point electrode method.
