Abstract

Aluminium, usually in sheet form, is often subjected to a graining process prior to further treatment. This is normally a batchwise acid pickle. A study was carried out on a laboratory scale to show that electrochemical machining can be used to produce grained aluminium surfaces by a continuous, high-rate process using non-acid electrolytes. © 1981 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
