“…In order to improve the machining quality of a specific machining object, more scholars choose to optimize machining parameters, such as the machining voltage, duty cycle, impulse frequency, and electrolyte concentration, to achieve better machining quality [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. At present, research on cathode materials mainly focus on the application of single cathode material in electrochemical machining, such as brass, copper alloy, or iron alloy, while there has been less research in the field of electrochemical machining [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Another main reason is that as 304 stainless steel, brass, and tungsten steel are the most common tool electrodes [ 31 ], the focus is generally put on the optimization of the cathode structure during the design of the electrochemical machining cathode, while the influence of the cathode material on electrochemical machining is often ignored.…”
