Preliminary Observations on the Effect of Superatmospheric Electrolyte Pressures in Electrolytic Metalworking

The use of electrolysis as a metalworking tool attracts industrial attention more and more because of the ability to remove metal at high speed without regard to the toughness or hardness of the metal, without metallurgical damage, without heat, and without consuming the shaped electrodes or tools which are used to impart the desired form into the work material. Evidence shows that superatmospheric pressures increase the speed and improve the results of the process.
