A tool-based hybrid laser-electrochemical micromachining process involves concurrent application of two process energies i.e. electrochemical and laser in the same machining zone by means of a hybrid ...

The performance of electrochemical micromachining (ECM) is compromised when processing highly passivating materials like Ti6Al4V, which can be improved through hybrid laser-ECM (LECM) which ...

Manufacturers are under pressure to change, to produce parts and systems that are smaller and lighter, and to do it with lower capital and operating costs – among other idealistic demands. Ideals are ...

As a Hackaday reader, it’s safe to assume you’ve got a better than average understanding of electricity. There’s also an excellent chance you’re familiar with machining, and may even have a lathe or ...

EMAG’s ECM solution is suitable for short and long barrels, and almost any inner geometry is possible. Firearm barrel production combines process extremes, placing high demands on the material ...
