| Abstract | An ultrahigh voltage is frequently required in electrochemical jet machining (EJM) to produce extreme current densities (>900 A/cm2 for this study) to achieve maximum dissolution rates. However, such a high electric field easily induces a cathodic discharge at the nozzle, and the generation mechanism and characteristics remain unexplored. For the first time, this study shows a direct visualisation of the hydrogen evolution and cathodic discharge in EJM using high-speed photography. An in-depth analysis of the discharge behaviour was carried out based on electrical monitoring, temperature measurement, and characterisation of the resulting changes in the electrode surface. It was revealed that the current density threshold determines the discharge ignition. Discharge occurs preferentially at the inner edge of the nozzle end face, which can cause nozzle wear and reduce local-isation of anode workpiece dissolution. The discharge intensity can be controlled by varying the applied voltage and pulse frequency. The electrolyte flow velocity and gap distance influence the discharge behaviour. With appropriate process control, cathodic plasma can enhance the EJM performance while minimising its negative impact. Furthermore, cathodic discharge can be significantly suppressed by designing the geometry of the nozzle tip to avoid local electric field concentration. |
