Electropolishing is the electrolytic removal of metal in a highly ionic solution by means of an electrical potential and current. It is normally used to remove a very thin layer of material on the surface of a metal part or component. Electropolishing is able to enhance the material properties of a workpiece and to change its physical dimensions. Also, It is suitable for the polishing of both complex shapes and hardened materials, which are difficult to machine mechanically. therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the characteristic of Electropolishing A12024 in terms of current density, polishing time and electrode gap, etc.

Electropolishing is the controlled electrochemical removal of surface metal, resultmg in a brilliant appearance andimproved properties. Sometimes described as "reverse plating," the process has a leveling effect, which produces smoothnessand increased reflectivity. Unlike conventional mechanical finishing systems, the electropolishing does not smear, bend,stress or fracture the crystalline metal surface to achieve smoothness. Instead, electropolishing removes metal from thesurface producing a unidirectional pattern that is stress-free, microscopically smooth and often highly reflective. In addition,improved corrosion resistance and passivity are achieved on many ferrous and some non-ferrous alloys. Pure aluminium doesnot electropolish well, if at all, but most other alloys of aluminum electropolish excellently.Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of electropolishing aluminium alloy in term of currentdensity, machining time, temperature, electrode gap and workpiece surface measurementkpiece surface measurement

Electropolishing is the anodic dissolution process in the transpassive state. It removes non-metallic inclusions and improves mechanical and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. If there is a Bailby layer, it will be recovered again. Electropolishing is normally used to remove a very thin layer of material on the surface of a metal component. The aim of this study is to determine the tendencies of electropolishing STS316L tubes in terms of current density, machining time, temperature, electrode gap and surface roughness.

In electropolishing, the ion from the surface of the metal is eliminated by means of an electrical potential and current. Electropolishing is being generally known as a replacement for mechanical finishing. In addition to making a surface smoother, it is a more visible means of brightening, deburring, cleaning, stress-relieving and improving the physical characteristics of most metals and alloys. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the characteristic of electropolishing STS304 and A12024 in terms of current density, polishing time and electrode gap, etc.

The experiment was carried out to fabricate alumina membrane which has a cylindrical pore structure by anodizing aluminium plate in sulfuric acid solution with the electrochemical technique. The aluminium plate for anodizing was prepared by the pretreatment process such as chemical, electro-polishing and thermal treatment. The pore size distribution and the film thickness of alumina membrane were investigated by the implementation of scanning electron microscope(SEM) and BET method. The results show that the oxide film has a geometrical structures like a Keller model and that the membrane has a uniform pore distribution. The pore size and the oxide film thickness are dependent on the anodizing process variables such as the electrolyte concentration, the reation temperature and the anodizing current density.

진공챔버,위생튜브등 정밀한 내면을 필요로 하는 경우 표면거칠기를 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 전해가공 및 수작업을 하는 경우가 대부분인데 이는 가공비가 비씨고 다듬질 시간이 많이 걸리는 등 매우 비경제적이다. 더구나 길이가 긴 관이나 구부러진 관의 내면은 기계적으로 다듬질이 매우 어렵다. 그러나 최근에 개발된 전자기장을 이용한 자력 연마가공법은 기존의 기계적인 가공법과는 달리 실제 가공을 행하는 공구부와 ㅣㅇ를 구동하는 구동부 사이에 공극을 허용하기 때문에 이를 이용하여 회전이 불가능한 곡관의 내면다듬질을 가능하게 하였다. 지금까지 연구들은 단순히 전자석 및 전원으로 이루어진 수동가공 시스템으로서 가공공정 자체의 특성파악에 집중되어 왔으나 자력연마법의 장점중의 하나인 다듬질 공정의 자동화 가능성을 실현시키기 위해서는 공정의 제어가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 실현시키기 위한 기초연구로서 컴퓨터구동 회전자력연마가공 시스템을 개발하고 그 기본특성을 알아보기 위해 유한요소법을 이용하여 원형 요오크 및 여섯개의 자극에 대해 자력선의 분포를 알아보았다. 또한 이로부터 가공영역의 자속밀도를 계산하고 다듬질 가공을 가능케 하기위한 회전자화의 발생방법에 대해 고찰하였다.

Automatic finishing process requires the development of high efficient and precision abrasive machining method for dies and molds. This study describes the evaluation of the finishing characteristics, such as surfrace roughness, topography and material removal depth of the electrolytic mixed abrasive machining methods. Experimental setup is composed of 3 axis machining center, a newly developed finishing attachment with constant pressure, electrode and electrolytic bath. Finally, we achieved a successful result that surface roughness is $0.01\mu$m Ra and material removal depth is $120\mu$m using electrolytic(0.8A. 30V) mixed abrasive (#400 CBN, #320 SiC) machining method.
