Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Manufacturing Engineering
  • Surface Engineering

Background:

  • Amorphous alloys (AA) offer excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for micro-scale applications.
  • Microfabrication of AA is challenging due to their hardness and sensitivity to high temperatures.
  • Existing methods struggle to process AA without compromising their properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of using jet-electrolyte electrochemical machining (Jet-ECM) for microfabricating zirconium-based amorphous alloys (Zr-based AA).
  • To determine the optimal process parameters for Jet-ECM of Zr-based AA.
  • To evaluate the quality of micro-features fabricated using Jet-ECM.

Main Methods:

  • Jet-electrolyte electrochemical machining (Jet-ECM) was employed as a low-temperature material removal process.
  • Electrochemical dissolution characteristics and material removal mechanisms of AA were studied.
  • Process parameters were optimized by evaluating surface morphology, roughness, geometrical profile, and machining accuracy of micro-dimples.

Main Results:

  • Jet-ECM successfully fabricated mirror-like surface AA micro-dimples with high dimensional accuracy.
  • Arrayed precision micro-dimples were consistently produced with excellent geometrical consistency.
  • The optimized Jet-ECM process demonstrated effective material removal and feature replication.

Conclusions:

  • Jet-ECM is a viable and advantageous microfabrication technique for hard-to-machine amorphous alloys.
  • The study confirms the potential of Jet-ECM for producing high-quality microstructures in AA.
  • This method overcomes the limitations of conventional processing for AA materials.
