METHOD OF ELECTROCHEMICAL CUTTING WITH WIRE ELECTRODE TOOL Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: electrochemical cutting. SUBSTANCE: wire electrode tool is connected to process voltage source, whereupon electrolyte is entered into treatment zone, and electrode is recoiled in order to be suitably put onto a part. Through electrode tool in treatment zone, unipolar current to create additional pumping pressure is additionally passed. When passing additional current, its intensity being determined from a given relationship, magnetic field arises round wire electrode, which affects electrolyte and gives rise to higher efficiency of pumping electrolyte through interelectrode gap and evacuation of anode dissolution products. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of procedure.
