Abstract
The mechanism of electrochemical mechanical finishing (ECMF) process was
investigated. The ECMF experimental system and control unit were developed and some vital
procedure parameters such as operating voltage, electrolyte component and concentration,
machining temperature, electrode gap and current density were also evaluated and optimized, then
the optimal procedure parameter match was obtained. Furthermore, the important surface roughness
characteristics before and after ECMF process such as height and spacing characteristics of surface
roughness, surface waviness characteristics, surface microscopic appearance and light reflection
characteristics were compared. The experiment and measurement results indicate that ECMF
process can distinctly improve surface quality, eliminate the surface scratch marks and defects and
reduce surface roughness.
