Introduction to Electrolytic Machining of Zirconia Ceramic Rod

There are many methods for processing and forming zirconia ceramic rods, but the electrochemical machining method for ceramic rods is rare. Below, Kezhong Ceramic Factory will introduce this ceramic rod electrochemical machining method to you.

Ceramic rod electrochemical machining is a method of forming ceramic materials by utilizing the electrochemical reaction principle of anodic dissolution of metals in electrolyte. Processing involves using the workpiece as the anode and the tool electrode as the cathode, and applying a direct current voltage between the two electrodes. Due to electrochemical reactions, the metal material on the surface of the workpiece near the conductive end of the electrode is dissolved until it meets the requirements for processing and molding.

The ceramic rod electrochemical machining equipment mainly consists of the machine body, power supply, and electrolyte system. The machine tool body is mainly used for installing workpieces, fixtures, and tool electrodes, and achieving stable feed of tool electrodes under the action of high-pressure electrolyte.

The processing power supply requires converting a regular 50Hz AC power supply into a low voltage, high current DC stabilized power supply required for electrochemical machining. The electrolyte system is mainly composed of pumps, electrolytic tanks, purification filters, heat exchangers, pipelines, etc. It is required to continuously and stably supply sufficient flow rate, suitable temperature, stable pressure, clean electrolyte to the processing area, and have good corrosion resistance.

Electrochemical machining of ceramic rod belongs to electrochemical machining, which is a special machining technology. It is not limited by the hardness, strength and toughness of ceramic materials, and can machine hard to cut metal materials such as cemented carbide, zirconia ceramics, alumina ceramics, and heat-resistant alloys. At the same time, there is no influence of mechanical cutting force and cutting heat during the machining process, making it more suitable for processing easily deformed or thin-walled parts.
