Abstract Electrolyte jet electrochemical turning is an effective method to realize high-quality machining of titanium alloy rotating components; however, minimal research has been carried out in this field. This is because it is difficult to control the machining flow field, which leads to poor machining surface quality. In this work, numerical simulations were used to optimize the machining flow field and reduce the proportion of gas that mixed into the machining area. This can promote participation of the tool electrode tip in the electrochemical reaction and improve the machining efficiency. The effectiveness of the optimized machining flow field for jet electrochemical turning was verified experimentally. The results showed that all three kinds of revolving TB6 titanium alloy samples with different structures could maintain the original contour shape, with a contour error <1% and a machined surface roughness reaching Ra 2.414 μm. The results demonstrate the application potential of the jet electrochemical turning process.

Electrochemical Turning

Electrochemical turning (ECT) has been studied by researchers for making axially symmetric parts of different materials by using shaped tools fed radially into the rotating workpiece. Despite having various advantages over other advanced machining processes, ECT has failed to gain much attention by the manufacturing industries and researchers because of the complexity involved in designing a shaped tool to give a desired shape and tolerances to the workpiece. In the present work, a systematic study is presented to understand the applicability of a microwire as a replacement for a shaped tool in this process. Simulations are carried out to understand the distribution of electric field lines and current density in case of wire electrochemical turning (ECT). The effects of insulting wire up to different angles on the evolved groove profile are investigated by performing simulation study. Minimum groove width is observed at the lowest value of ‘tool exposed angle’ (30°), while maximum groove depth is observed at the highest value of tool exposed angle (270°). In the later part of the work, an experimental study is performed to characterize a groove profile using a bare copper wire of diameter 200 µm. The effects of input parameters, such as workpiece rpm, tool radial insertion, applied potential and electrolyte concentration on responses like groove width, corner radius and taper angle are investigated. Finally, the understanding of behaviour of different process parameters is applied to perform operations like multi-step turning, microgroove turning and taper turning on copper and micro-threading on stainless steel 304.

Electrochemical Turning

In order to machine revolving workpieces which are made of difficult-to-cut materials or have low rigidity, the technology of Numerical Controlled Electrochemical Turning (NC-ECT) was put forward and the preliminary experimental study was presented in this paper. To carry out the study, an experimental setup was developed, and a new special kind of inner-spraying cathode with single linear edge was designed according to the process of machining cylindrical surface and the requirement of stable electrolyte flow field. First, the NC-ECT method was simply described. Then, considering the structure of the cathode and the machining process, the method for calculating the material removed depth per revolution in machining the cylindrical surface was given. Finally, the experiments of machining the cylindrical surface were carried out. Experiments showed: 1) The calculated material removed depth per revolution is well consistent with the actual value of the machining process, which decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the workpiece and increases almost linearly with the increase of the working voltage; 2) The surface roughness decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the workpiece and the working voltage; 3) The working current in the machining process trend to stable after several revolutions.

The processing simulation method of numerical control electrochemical turning (NC-ECT) was presented based on the finite element method (FEM) in this paper. The three-dimensional analysis model of the electric field built in ANSYS software was solved. The current density distribution and the theoretical values of material removed depth per revolution (MRDPR) in different time on the anode were obtained. The experiments were carried out on the NC-ECT lathe, and the measured values of MRDPR were measured, which were compared with the theoretical values. It is indicated that the maximum percentage error between the theoretical values and the measured values is smaller and the simulation method meets the accuracy of the engineering calculations.

Electrochemical Turning

A preliminary study of Numerical Controlled Electrochemical Turning (NC-ECT) technology was presented in this paper. NC-ECT is suitable for machining revolving workpieces which are made of difficult-to-cut materials or have low rigidity, and it is difficult or expensive for machining these workpieces by use of traditional turning or traditional Electrochemical Machining (ECM) method. To carry out the study, an experimental setup was developed on the basis of a common lathe, and a kind of inner-spraying cathode with rectangle section outlet was designed according to the process of machining cylindrical surface. First, the NC-ECT method was simply described. Then, considering the structure of the cathode and the process of machining, the method for calculating the inter-electrode gap in machining the cylindrical surface was given. Finally, the experiments of machining the cylindrical surface were carried out. Experiments showed that the calculated inter-electrode gaps are well consistent with the actual value of the machining process, which decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of workpiece and increases almost linearly with the increase of the working voltage. Experiments also showed that the inter-electrode gap keeps a certain relationship with the working current, the inter-electrode gap can be controlled according to working current in the machining process.
