Advancing electrochemical jet methods through manipulation of the angle of address (2017)
Journal Article
Mitchell-Smith, J., Speidel, A., & Clare, A. (2018). Advancing electrochemical jet methods through manipulation of the angle of address. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 255, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2017.12.026

Electrochemical jet processing techniques have traditionally been considered to be limited to planar interactions with the electrolyte jet being maintained normal to the workpiece surface. In this study, the viability and resultant effects of articul... Read More about Advancing electrochemical jet methods through manipulation of the angle of address.

Transitory electrochemical masking for precision jet processing techniques (2017)
Journal Article
Mitchell-Smith, J., Speidel, A., & Clare, A. (2018). Transitory electrochemical masking for precision jet processing techniques. Journal of Manufacturing Processes, 31, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2017.11.028

Electrochemical jet processing techniques provide an efficient method for large area surface structuring and micro-milling, where the metallurgy of the near-surface is assured and not adversely affected by thermal loading. Here, doped electrolytes ar... Read More about Transitory electrochemical masking for precision jet processing techniques.

Energy distribution modulation by mechanical design for electrochemical jet processing techniques (2017)
Journal Article
Mitchell-Smith, J., Speidel, A., Gaskell, J., & Clare, A. T. (2017). Energy distribution modulation by mechanical design for electrochemical jet processing techniques. International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 122, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2017.05.005

The increasing demand for optimised component surfaces with enhanced chemical and geometric complexity is a key driver in the manufacturing technology required for advanced surface production. Current methodologies cannot create complex surfaces in a... Read More about Energy distribution modulation by mechanical design for electrochemical jet processing techniques.

Electrolyte design for suspended particulates in electrolyte jet processing (2017)
Journal Article
Clare, A. T., Speidel, A., Mitchell-Smith, J., & Patwardhan, S. (2017). Electrolyte design for suspended particulates in electrolyte jet processing. CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology, 66(1), 201-204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cirp.2017.04.133

The addition of particles (less than 1 μm) to electrolyte feedstocks results in marked changes to the morphology of deposits when electrolyte jet processing (EJP) compared to electrolyte only feedstocks. Through the use of a ‘carrier’ electrolyte in... Read More about Electrolyte design for suspended particulates in electrolyte jet processing.

Tribological behaviour of an electrochemical jet machinedtextured Al-Si automotive cylinder liner material (2017)
Journal Article
Walker, J., Kamps, T., Lam, J., Mitchell-Smith, J., & Clare, A. T. (2017). Tribological behaviour of an electrochemical jet machinedtextured Al-Si automotive cylinder liner material. Wear, 376-377(B), 1611-1621. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2017.01.085

This paper investigates the use of Electrochemical Jet Machining to surface texture a hyper-eutectic Al-Si cylinder liner material. Samples were lapped to a 6?m finish followed by immersion in 1mol NaOH to expose the primary silicon colonies above th...
