Abstract

Electrochemical Machining (ECM), an unusual machining method, seems to be a promising approach in the automotive and other industrial industries. According to current trends, industries including biotechnology, electronics, optics, medicine, and others have seen a massive increase in demand for stainless steel micro goods and components. Because it is corrosion-resistant and easily sterilizable, this stainless-steel material is perfect for a sanitary setting. This study examined the experimental process parameters of ECM for SS material. The SS 316 alloy has made the decision to alter the electrochemical machining procedure using various electrodes and to investigate the process parameters using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. To investigate the improved quality of ECM process parameters, several tool materials have been used.
