Introduction Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is a nontraditional machining process, Which is opposite of
electrochemical or galvanic coating. Working Principle:-
ECM works on the principle of Faraday law of electrolysis in which ions are displaced from work
piece.

Molarity Concentration NaCl solution Molecular weight = 23+35 = 58 g/mol Weight of the salt = 250 g Volume of solution = 15 liters No. of moles = weight/ molecular weight = 250/58 = 4.3 mole Molarity conc. = No. of moles/ volume = 4.3/15 = 0.286
Circuit Diagram of ECM
Pump Actual Discharge Pump discharge has been measured on 15 liters of water. Volume of liquid = 15 liters Time taken to pump water from electrolyte tank to machining tank = 40 second Discharge = (vol. of liquid pump) ÷ (time taken) = 15 ÷ 40 = 0.375 liter/sec = 0.000375 cubic meter per sec.
