Abstract:In Electrochemical machining (ECM), anodic dissolution process is strongly affected by the electrochemical behavior of the target metal. This study aims to improve the counter-rotating electrochemical machining (CRECM) performance of lug boss on Inconel 718 on basis of different dissolution behaviors of metals. The dissolved surfaces of 304 stainless steel and Inconel 718 at various current densities were examined using scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The profiles and surface qualities of the machined lug bosses were compared. The results indicated that the 304 stainless steel workpiece presented substantially better machining performance than Inconel 718 due to its favorable localization effect. Straight lug bosses with small fillet radii were fabricated in 304 stainless steel. In contrast, the sidewall of a lug boss formed on the surface of Inconel 718 workpiece was tapered and had a large fillet radius because of substantial corrosion on its top surface. On this basis, a 304 stainless steel coating layer was employed to improve CRECM performance during machining of a high lug boss on Inconel 718. The experimental results showed that the employment of 304 stainless steel coating layer could prevent the surface of lug boss on Inconel 718 from dissolution and therefore improve the machining accuracy effectively.
