Abstract The coaxial laser has been introduced to shaped tube electrochemical machining (STEM), referred to as Laser-STEM, to enhance the materials removal rate and precision. To address the issue of central residual formation during the Laser-STEM process, which limited the machining stability and feeding rate, the retracted hybrid tubular electrode was applied. The formation mechanisms and effects of the W-shaped central residual were analyzed. Simulation and experiments were conducted to study the impact of the retracted length of the tubular electrode. Simulation results showed that a retracted length of 1-1.5 mm of the inner low-refractive layer could improve the electric current density distribution homogeneity to remove the W-shaped central residual in the machining area. The electric current density distribution homogeneity in the machining zone has been decreased by 38% by utilizing the hybrid tubular electrode with a retracted length of 2.0 mm. With a proper retracted length, the laser coupling efficiency exceeded 74.5%. Hence, the retracted hybrid tubular electrode could act as both the tool electrode and optical waveguide in the Laser-STEM process. Experimental results proved that the machining efficiency and precision of Laser-STEM could be enhanced by utilizing the retracted hybrid tubular electrode. With the retracted length deg rising from 0 mm to 1.5 mm, the maximum feeding speed increased by 373%, and the machining precision was improved by 42.2%. The maximum feeding rate of 4.1 mm/min has been achieved using the retracted hybrid tubular electrode in the Laser-STEM process, which has been improved by 105%, compared with the available maximum feeding rate of the tubular electrode in the STEM process. Finally, the small holes with a diameter of 1.4 mm and an aspect ratio of 15 have been processed by Laser-STEM with the retracted hybrid tubular electrode.

The characteristics of argon arc in tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding have been studied by considering the electrode shape which has an effect on the current density distribution near the electrode tip. For including the electrode surface configuration into the solution domain, the boundary-fitted coordinate system was employed. Then, a non-rectangular computational region in the physical domain was transformed into a rectangular area with uniformly spaced grids in the computational domain using the second-order central difference method. With the geometric transformation coefficients, the finite difference equations were derived in the computational transformed domain. As the most critical boundary condition, the normal current density distribution entering an electrode surface was postulated by the Gaussian distribution in consideration of the geometry of the electrode shape. For examining the simulated results, the temperature profile was compared with the experimental measurement of the previous research. The transferring phenomena on the base plate, such as current density, heat flux, arc pressure and drag force, were also calculated, because they are necessary data for analysing the molten pool during welding.
