Effect of the geometry of the electrode on the bubble formation in electrochemical discharge machining

A static electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) tester, where the tungsten needle is used as the cathode and the platinum as the anode and the glass as the specimen, and the depth of electrode is set to be 1mm in the aqueous electrolyte of 30wt% KOH at the test time of 10s, is employed to investigate the influence of geometry and size of the electrode, supply voltage and gap on the characteristic of electrochemical discharge machining.
According to the current/voltage measurements combined with the photographs of the bubble layer on the cathode and the behavior of discharge under different geometry and size of the electrode during the ECDM process, three regimes have been identified as: (I): non-machining. (II): glow discharge. (III): spark discharge. From the observation on the surface of machined glass specimen by using SEM, the experimental result show that damage of the glass increases with the increase of supply voltage.
