Do I need a special shaped `cathode` (a.k.a. electrode) tool developed for every different part feature?
While conformal shaped tooling is an absolute requirement of Sodium Nitrate and Sodium Chloride-based ECD processes, it is largely not required with the Burlytic® process (ref. figures below). The combination of our patented Burlyte® electrolyte (with higher electrical resistance) and pulsed current technology produce a “peak effect” which causes selective dissolution of burrs and sharp edges without special tooling. Burlytic® electrode must only be in the general area of the burr. The burr is dissolved from the tip of the burr to the root in a controlled manner. Deburring field is self-focusing. ECD electrode must be close fitting and conformal to the workpiece edge. Spacing must be carefully controlled. Burr is dissolved at the root as a function of tool position accuracy.
