Pulse Electrochemical Machining involves the application of a voltage pulse at high current density in the anodic dissolution process. Small interelectrode gap, low electrolyte .ow rate, gap state recovery during the pulse o.-times lead to improved machining accuracy and surface .nish when compared with ECM using continuous current. This paper presents a mathematical model for PECM and employs this model in a computer simulation of the PECM process for determination of the thermal limitation and energy consumption in PECM. The experimental results and discussion of the characteristics PECM are presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Thermal models of pulse electrochemical machining}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/111835/PDF/(52-4)313.pdf}, keywords={micromachining, electrochemical dissolution, temperature distribution}, }
