The surface irregularities of electrodes used in an electrochemical machining (ECM) process are 3 μm and 6 μm as shown in the figure. If the work-piece is of pure iron and 12V DC is applied between the electrodes, the largest feed rate is mm/min. Conductivity of the 0.02 ohm–1 mm–1 electrolyte Over-potential voltage 1.5 V Density of iron 7860 kg/m3 Atomic weight of iron 55.85 gm Assume the iron to be dissolved as Fe+2 and the Faraday constant to be 96500 Coulomb.
