摘要

The inverted T-slot structure plays a crucial role in the medical field; however, its precision machining remains a significant challenge. To address this, an efficient electrochemical milling method based on a specialized hollow shaped-electrode is proposed in this paper. First, a fluid field simulation model was established to analyze the electrolyte flow distribution within the inter-electrode gap, guiding the design and fabrication of the custom hollow electrode. Subsequently, the influence of various processing parameters on the dimensional accuracy of the inverted T-slot was systematically investigated through both simulation and experimental validation. The experimental results demonstrate that under the optimized parameters—an electrolyte pressure of 0.9 MPa, a voltage of 12 V, a frequency of 1 KHz, a pulse duty cycle of 40%, and a feed rate of 0.6 mm/min—an inverted T-slot with an average width of 8.60 ± 0.08 mm, an average height of 3.542 ± 0.06 mm, and a depth of 10 mm was successfully fabricated using a single-pass milling process.
