- This paper demonstrates for first time how the electrochemical machining (ECM) parameters influence the inner surface finish of stainless steel tubes, and is first on enabling tailoring this surface to specific applications. The results are presented in such way that any ECM company can achieve the surface finish expected based on their own process parameters. These findings allowed our industrial partner, pECM (UK), to eliminate the part cleaning process required after ECM, reducing process costs and duration. Moreover, this paper formed the basis for further collaboration within pECM and an USA O&G partner for the ECM of bended steel pipes.
