Electrochemical microprocessing assisted by Diode Pumped Solid State Nd:YAG pulse laser

The use of hybrid machining methods for parts and devices production become more and more attractive nowadays. The paper presents results of modelling use of DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) pulse laser for intensification of electrochemical processes in machine part production. Application of DPSS pulse laser enables possibility to reach high level of localization in both machining and growth processes. Laser beam energy accelerates electrochemical processing, improves process localization and prevents other than the machined surface passivation. These conditions should improve electrochemical micro part precision of manufacturing by means of shape and dimensional accuracy in both machining and growth ECM processing.
