Abstract: Based
on analysis of electrochemical machining (ECM) process and
application of finite element technique (FET), a method of tool
design is presented which can be used in ECM with passivated
electrolyte. As a result of specific treatment to boundary
conditions, this method needs much less computing time and
memory space. It has been shown that the theoretical results
correspond well with the experimental ones.
