Study on the forming mechanism of gas film insulation assisted electrochemical machining based on multi-physics coupling model
摘要
Electrochemical machining (ECM) is an advanced processing technology widely used in fields such as aviation, aerospace, and mold manufacturing. For the process of gas-film-assisted electrochemical machining, this paper develops a multiphysics model considering the coupling of electric field and multiphase flow to delve into its dynamic forming mechanism. The research systematically examined how the generation of a stable gas-insulating film under different gas flow conditions effectively suppresses stray corrosion. The gas-phase volume fraction, current density distribution, and dynamic evolution of workpiece geometry was quantitatively investigated through numerical simulations. Simulation demonstrated that increasing gas flow within optimal parameters significantly promotes uniform gas film distribution, reduces stray current effects, and enhances machining accuracy. Experiments were conducted to validate these results that upon increasing the gas flow rate from 0 to 1.5
