ABSTRACT


The experiments on electrochemical machining of stainless steel SS316 have been carried out according to designed experimental plan to observe the effect of nano zero valent iron (NZVI) mixed electrolyte solution on material removal rate. Dependence of material removal rate on feed rate in presence of NZVI has been determined and compared with theoretical values. These comparative investigations for MRR are given in tabular format with graphical representation. The significant effect on MRR was observed; when NZVI mixed aqueous NaCl solution was used as an electrolyte due to its high reducing characteristics. The observed experimental results were found to be quite close with theoretical results.


Keywords: Nano Zero Valent Iron (NZVI), NaCl Electrolyte, SS316, Material Removal Rate, ECM
