Modeling of Electrochemical Copying in a Finite-Width Cell

Abstract

The problem of modeling of electrochemical machining is reduced to the solution of the Schwartz problem on a parametrical rectangle with the use of theta-functions. Various conditions (non-equipotentiality of electrodes and inconstancy of current efficiency) at the boundary of a processed surface are considered. Nonstationary, quasistationary, stationary, and limit solutions are studied. Results of machining of surfaces by tool electrodes of various shapes are given. It is shown that machining mode parameters significantly affect the dissolved layer size necessary for obtaining high-precision copying.
