A novel hole performance index to evaluate the hole geometry and drilling time in the electrochemical drilling process.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemical Drilling (ECD) is an unconventional method aimed at creating holes in metallic workpieces characterized by high hardness and complex structures. This study analyzes the influence of process variables, including machining voltage, electrolyte concentration, electrode rotational speed, electrolyte flushing pressure, and workpiece material, on the novel hole performance index (HPI) in electrical discharge machining (ECD). The HPI was identified as a suitable metric for simultaneously evaluating hole geometry and drilling time across various machining parameters and workpiece materials. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was employed to determine the significance of each machining parameter and workpiece material on the HPI. The research employed signal-to-noise ratio anal
