Silly question?

[edit]

Is it "Electro Chemical Machining" or "Electrochemical machining?" Just wondering. If the latter, the namespace should be changed to reflect it if that's the more standard spelling in the industry? Mgmirkin 23:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe "Electrochemical machining" is probably "correct", whatever that actually means. Electrochemical is certainly a valid single word (was part of my Chemistry degree...). As confirming evidence, I'd offer "Electrochemical machining" as an entry in the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, and the Oxford English Dictionary lists "electrochemical". "Electrochemical" outnumbers "Electro chemical" by about 2:1 on my Google search. I therefore suggest "Electrochemical machining" is used here. M j berry (talk) 04:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Electrochemical" is the way I've always seen it spelled, therefore I'm going to go ahead and make the move. Wizard191 (talk) 17:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Electrochemical is one word as used by ASME Wilhkar (talk) 18:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)wilhkar[reply]

materials that are processed by ECM

[edit]

Discussion about dubious statement regarding materials. ASME article refers to machining titanium aluminides, Inconel 718, and Waspalloy using ECM. Wilhkar (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC) wilhkar[reply]

I guess you could include the carbon systems such as diamond- amotphous etc, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchywka_effect
