ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for electrochemically finishing or smoothing an irregular anode surface of a conductive metal part while removing a minimum of metal from the anode surface. The smoothing or finishing of irregular surfaces, such as burred surfaces, for example, is achieved by mounting the face of a cathode member adjacent the anode surface to be finished to define a minimum gap therebetween and moving the face relative to the anode surface while subjecting the face and anode surface to a flow of electrolyte fluid through the gap. An electrical power means is coupled to the face and anode surface for generating a current therebetween through the electrolyte for electrochemically finishing the burred anode surface with a minimum removal of metal therefrom.
