Anodic Polarization Studies on Soft Iron in Some Concentrated Salt Solutions

Nature volume 219, pages 1034–1035 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

MOST development efforts1 in electrochemical machining (ECM) research have been expended in attempts to improve the poor dimensional control of NaCl electrolytes. By studying the rate of removal of metal in several electrolytes, LaBoda and McMillan2 reported that NaClO3 electrolytes possess excellent ECM properties. Rates of metal removal were obtained as high as 0.001 in./s for a hardened Carpenter Ni-Cr steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60C, and the finish of the machined surface measured from 1–5 µin.
