This paper describes relevant problems and solutions for the circular micro holes machining process on 304 stainless steel sheets with 60 μm thickness using high speed steel cylindrical tool of diameter 500 ~tm and using dilute I-I2SO4 as elec- trolyte. The taper angle variation of the machined hole is analyzed and reported for different experimental setting parameters. The minimum value of the taper angle of machined holes is achieved at the parameter setting of 0.4 mol/L H2504, 700 kHz, 600 ns and 21 V, for stainless steel sheets and HSS tool.展开更多
