The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates material density based on electrochemical machining parameters where material removal is proportional to the charge passed.
Details: Accurate density calculation is crucial for material characterization, process optimization in electrochemical machining, and predicting material removal rates in manufacturing processes.
Tips: Enter all values in appropriate units. Electrochemical equivalent in kg/C, current efficiency as decimal (0-1), electric current in amperes, feed speed in m/s, and area of penetration in m². All values must be positive.
Q1: What is electrochemical equivalent?
A: Electrochemical equivalent is the mass of a substance produced at the electrode during electrolysis by one coulomb of charge.
Q2: How is current efficiency defined?
A: Current efficiency is the ratio of the actual mass of substance liberated to the theoretical mass according to Faraday's law.
Q3: What factors affect work piece density calculation?
A: Measurement accuracy of electrochemical equivalent, current efficiency, electric current, feed speed, and penetration area all affect the calculation.
