Consideration of chemically‐induced damage in a thermo‐electrically coupled system

Electro-chemical machining (ECM) allows the removal of material based on effect anodic dissolution and without mechanical contact. Thus, it avoids tool abrasion as well influencing surface quality, for instance due to formed dislocations and/or damage. Due that, ECM is a very attractive process high strength materials such titanium. The result present electric current in combination with contact an electrolyte. We show model, which enables predict mentioned by use chemically motivated damage Faraday's law. After approach's introduction, we will address its consideration within thermo-electrically coupled finite element method using effective parameters that differ between metal presentation completed numerical results, method's ability simulate process.
