微細電解加工(「電解を利用した複合加工技術の研究」のサブテーマ)
Electrochemical Micromachining (ECMM)
So called silicon
process, which is widely used in manufacturing
semiconductor devices, is an established process.
However, it is difficult to apply the process to other
materials. For the progress of micro machine
technology, metals are also required to be micromachined.
For this, electrodischarge machining (EDM) seems a
superior machining method. It, however, has
weaknesses of leaving heat affected layer on the machined
surface and of tool wear. The latter becomes
especially troublesome when three dimensional shape is to
be micromachined. Electrochemical machining (ECM)
has advantages of leaving no heat affected layer and of
no tool wear. Electrochemical machining,
however, is hardly applicable in micromachining because
of the expected difficulty in controlling machined shape.
The electrode gap in ECM is considerably larger than that
in EDM and the resulted resolution of the machined shape
is inferior to EDM. However, if its electrode gap
is kept at very small value, the resolution of machined
shape will become better and the possibility of applying
ECM to micromachining will increase. Our preliminary
experiment showed that the machining voltage and
electrolyte concentration can be lowered with the use of
specially designed electrode gap control system and as a
result the electrode gap can be decreased down to several
μm. The electrochemical
dissolution at microscopic electrode gap is hardly known
but seems to be a prospective phenomenon. We are
going to study the feasibility of developing a new
process for high quality three dimensional micromachining
of metals.
