The life span of high-energy cells (3.5 Ah, 18 650, LiNi0.88Co0.11Al0.01O2 (NCA)|C/Si, cell type A) is investigated as a function of depth of discharges (DoD, between 20 and ) and cycling rates (between 1C and C/5). The most relevant degradation mechanism for this cell type is the cycling-induced fracturing of active material. This mechanical degradation of the anode is …

It was during the late '50s that Edmund Lang (founder of ELB in Babenhausen, Germany) and his son Gerhard were experimenting with electrochemical grinding. One of their experiments appeared to go wrong when the grinding wheel was fed slowly through the workpiece with a large depth of cut, but without any electrical current.

In Electrochemical grinding, the metal bonded grinding wheel filled with a non-conductive abrasive. The grinding wheel act as a cathode and the workpiece is act as an anode. The electrolyte, which is usually sodium nitrate, sodium chloride, potassium nitrite, with a concentration of 0.150 to 0.300 kg/litre of water.

Summary. Weld cleaning is a key post-welding process used to prevent corrosion on metal surfaces. Three weld cleaning methods are distinguished: Mechanical (grinding with abrasives) Chemical (pickling paste treatment) Electrochemical (Cleaning with electrolytic fluids) The mechanical process is fairly ineffective and time-consuming.

Electrochemical machining is a process of removing metal with the help of the electrolysis process. The electrochemical process is also known as the reverse of the electroplating process because, in electroplating, the metal is deposited on the surface of the workpiece, while in electrochemical machining the metal is removed from the workpiece.
