Investigation of electrochemical micromachining on magnesium alloy using hollow tool electrode.

This study investigates the application of Electrochemical Micromachining (ECMM) on magnesium alloy AZ31 using a hollow tool electrode. Magnesium alloys, particularly AZ31, are valued for their lightweight properties and strength-to-weight ratio but pose challenges in precision machining due to their high reactivity and susceptibility to corrosion. Utilizing a hollow tool electrode in ECMM offers potential advantages in precision and control, crucial for micro-scale manufacturing applications.
