Implementation of the Machine Tool-Specific Current and Voltage Control Characteristics in Multiphysics Simulation of Electrochemical Precision Machining

Abstract In this study a multiphysics simulation model of the pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM) with oscillating cathode is shown. The focus of this study is on the implementation of machine tool-specific control characteristics in combination with physical phenomena and material removal. As a result, the implementation of the machine tool control characteristics leads to an increase of simulation accuracy of the multiphysics model. The simulation results are compared with results of previous simulations and experimental investigations.
