Abstract:
1. A method for machining a metallic structural component by finishing with a pulsed electrochemical ablation process, wherein before finishing the structural component has a pre-contour with different over-measures in different areas, the method including the following steps: a) determining the different over-measures of the pre-contour in the different areas; and b) bilaterally and simultaneously finishing the structural component by simultaneously feeding at least one electrode disposed on one side of the structural component in an area of a larger over-measure of the pre-contour and at least another electrode disposed on a different side of the structural component in an area of a smaller over-measure of the pre-contour, whereby the feed velocity of the electrode in the area of the larger over-measure of the pre-contour is larger than the feed velocity of the electrode in the area of the smaller over-measure of the pre-contour, until either a predetermined, equidistant over-measure of the pre-contour is achieved or until an end-contour of the structural component is achieved.
