What is "ECM, Electrochemical Machining"?
Operation in which electrical current flows between a workpiece and conductive tool through an electrolyte. Initiates a chemical reaction that dissolves metal from the workpiece at a controlled rate. Unlike traditional cutting methods, workpiece hardness is not a factor, making ECM suitable for machining tough materials. Takes such forms as electrochemical grinding, electrochemical honing, and electrochemical turning.
