Electrochemical micro machining, the anodic dissolution process is considered to effective advantaged micro machining method which possess several advantages on electrically conducting and difficult to machine materials. Ni-Ti SMA(Shape Memory Alloy) is composed of approximately 56% Nikel and 44% Titanium by weight. This material is able to function as to transform specific shape from a certain deformation when the alloy is heated. However, Ni-Ti SMA is easily to loss characteristic that shape memory as a traditional machining process by reason of generating heat at contacting area between material and tool. Therefore Ni-Ti SMA is suitable electrochemical machining that needless contact a tool to material.
In this paper, characteristics of micro groove process are studied on electrochemical machining to change tool diameter and distance between material and tool electrode.
