This book sheds light on the development of Pulsed-Electrochemical Honing (PECH), a unique hybrid finishing process, which has capabilities of finishing intricate shaped components (especially gears). The text covers the fundamentals of the process, and details all parameters of PECH in the finishing of straight bevel gears. It discusses all important aspects of electrochemical honing, and details recent developments in tools, technologies, controls and operations.

This book describes various hybrid machining and finishing processes. It gives a critical review of the past work based on them as well as the current trends and research directions. For each hybrid machining process presented, the authors list the method of material removal, machining system, process variables and applications. This book provides a deep understanding of the need, application and mechanism of hybrid machining processes.
