Electrochemical Machining with a closed electrolytic free jet is a special procedure to generate complex micro structures by help of anodic dissolution. The work piece shape is fabricated by supplying an electrolytic current through an electrolyte jet ejected from a small nozzle.

In this study COMSOL Multiphysics is used to simulate the electric current density in the jet and the dissolution process in a time dependent model for Jet-ECM point processing.

The simulations are able to describe experimental results very well.
