Background:

Mask preparation is a critical challenge in mask-based electrochemical machining (ECM).
Existing methods often face limitations in efficiency and cost-effectiveness for micro-texture fabrication.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and analyze a novel electrochemical machining process utilizing hard particle masks.
To investigate the formation mechanisms of micro-protrusion structures using both insulating and conductive hard particles.
To provide experimental verification for the proposed micro-texturing method.

Main Methods:

Development of an electrochemical machining process employing hard particles (titanium, zirconia) as masks.
Numerical simulations to analyze micro-structure formation with different mask properties (insulating vs. conductive).
Experimental validation of simulation findings.

Main Results:

Insulating hard particle masks lead to preferential metal dissolution at the center of particle gaps, expanding over time.
Conductive hard particle masks (e.g., titanium) result in initial dissolution in a ring pattern around particle-anode contact points.
Dissolution patterns are predictable and controllable based on the electrical properties of the hard particle masks.

Conclusions:

The proposed hard particle mask ECM method enables efficient and cost-effective micro-texture fabrication.
Understanding the influence of particle conductivity is key to controlling micro-machining outcomes.
This technique offers a viable approach for advanced micro-manufacturing applications.
