Abstract

Micro electrochemical machining is one of the promising non-conventional machining methods which has created new horizon in Micro and Nano product technologies including MEMS, defense, medical and automobile industries. An existing challenge in manufacturing has been known as the lack of identified methodology and measurement science to evaluate the sustainability of the process performance. This challenge would be more critical when it comes to Micro and Nano manufacturing process. This paper presents a review on challenges encountered in micro electrochemical machining considering it as a sustainable manufacturing process.
