Comparison of polarisation curves and chronoamperometry experiments of titanium with and without ultrasonic vibrations of the electrolyte

Abstract

Ultrasonic vibrations were applied to the electrolyte in polarisation curve and chronoamperometry to observe the effect of anodic dissolution with the aim to apply knowledge to electrochemical machining. The application of the ultrasonic vibrations to the electrolyte allowed the dissolution potential to be lowered considerably and the machining rates were increased.
