Explanation:

ECM (Electrochemical Machining):

  • The mechanism in the ECM process is like EDM concept-wise. In ECM, a high current is passed between the tool (cathode) and the workpiece (anode), through a conductive fluid (electrolyte), instead of a dielectric in the case of EDM.
  • The ECM process makes use of an electrolyte and high electric – current to ionize and remove metal atoms yielding a burr-free surface.
