Introduction
Chemical Dissolution
Chemical dissolution aided by
electric current
Controlled electrical discharge
Electron beams and laser beams of
high energy intensity
Chemical Machining
Most metal (ceramics too) are
attached by specific chemicals
acids or alkalis
The metal is dissolved atom by atom
Only part of surface is etched away
The remaining parts must be
protected by wax, paint or polymer
