Silly question? edit

Is it "Electro Chemical Machining" or "Electrochemical machining?" Just wondering. If the latter, the namespace should be changed to reflect it if that's the more standard spelling in the industry? Mgmirkin 23:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I believe "Electrochemical machining" is probably "correct", whatever that actually means. Electrochemical is certainly a valid single word (was part of my Chemistry degree...). As confirming evidence, I'd offer "Electrochemical machining" as an entry in the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, and the Oxford English Dictionary lists "electrochemical". "Electrochemical" outnumbers "Electro chemical" by about 2:1 on my Google search. I therefore suggest "Electrochemical machining" is used here. M j berry (talk) 04:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Electrochemical" is the way I've always seen it spelled, therefore I'm going to go ahead and make the move. Wizard191 (talk) 17:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Discussion about dubious statement regarding materials. ASME article refers to machining titanium aluminides, Inconel 718, and Waspalloy using ECM. Wilhkar (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC) wilhkarReply

I guess you could include the carbon systems such as diamond- amotphous etc, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchywka_effect
