Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An electrochemical machining technique involves moving a cathode (2) towards an anodic workpiece (1). A current is passed through an electrolyte which flows between the cathode (2) and workpiece (1) so as to cause material to be removed electrolytically from the workpiece (1). A vibratory movement is imposed on the cathode (2) and the current passed between the cathode (2) and workpiece (1) is also varied. The vibratory movement may consist of a main sinusoidal oscillation and a secondary ultrasonic vibration and the current , variation is synchronised with the main vibration so that current pulses and , ultrasonic vibration pulses, coincide with a predetermined small phase shift with …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 20, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 20, 2020.
