  • Publication number: 20090321274
    Abstract: A machine for electrochemically polishing indentations within the wall of an aluminum workpiece, such as a wheel, has a cathode attached to an upper platen. The workpiece is mounted upon a lower platen which acts as an anode. Electrolyte is passed between the cathode and the anode while simultaneously a current is applied which passes through the cathode and the anode. The current is selectively pulsed to maximize polishing but at the same time to permit the flushing away of residual material and to cool the cathode and the workpiece.
    Type: Application
