Electrochemical Machining During Eight Years of Operation

Adoption of a new machining method such as ECM leads to a series of experiences which affect equipment, product application, installation, and personnel. This paper will review highlights of the progress made by Garrett-AiResearch in utilizing the ECM process and equipment and will outline some anticipated future activities. Modernization of an early model ECM machine is described to illustrate one of the operations being pursued in the constant battle against obsolescence.
