ABSTRACT
Electrochemical micro-Machining (ECMM) is best suited for machining micro level profiles as it provides several advantages like better precision, less wear and machinability of wide range of materials. Using various levels of process parameters like voltage, electrolyte concentration, frequency and duty cycle, electrochemical micro machining was performed using untreated and cryogenic treated electrodes and its effect on various response parameters while machining Stainless Steel 316 are studied. From results obtained, the cryogenic treated tool electrode had a high MRR,9.8% of lower overcut,11.2 % of lower conicity and 3.8% of higher circularity compared to untreated tool electrode because the treated tool has high electrical conductance, high corrosion resistance and smaller grain size. The optimized values for Cryogenic Treated tool was achieved when applied voltage was 10V, electrolyte concentration was 30 g/L, frequency was 50 Hz and duty cycle was 33%.
