Definition

A non-contact, non-thermal machining process in which controlled anodic dissolution removes metal from a conductive workpiece placed opposite a shaped tool (cathode) while an electrolyte conducts current and evacuates reaction products, producing the negative of the tool geometry without mechanical cutting forces or tool wear.
