Experimental Research on Electrochemically Assisted Microturning Process

In the paper the concept of electrochemically assisted microturning process was presented. This is a hybrid machining process in which the microcutting directly removes the material while the electrochemical passivation process is changing the conditions of cutting. The experimental part consist of description of passive layer formation process on 304 steel samples and results discussion of passive layer thickness and mechanical properties measurement with ellipsometry and nanoindentation technique.
