Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a gear, the method includes applying a first charge to a workpiece and applying a second, opposite charge to an electrochemical machining (ECM) attachment, the ECM attachment having a pattern. The method further includes simultaneously forming a plurality of surfaces of a gear tooth in the workpiece using the pattern of the ECM attachment while applying the first charge to the workpiece and applying the second charge to the ECM attachment and turning the workpiece and the ECM attachment in opposite rotational directions. The plurality of surfaces includes at least one end face and a top land of the gear tooth.

Claim (Index 9):
A cathode for forming a plurality of gear teeth in a workpiece comprising:\n a body having an outer periphery; a plurality of features spaced about the outer periphery of the body, each of the plurality of features including a first end, a second end, and a contoured member extending between the first end and the second end; wherein when the body is positioned adjacent the workpiece such that the first end of the plurality of features is arranged adjacent a first surface of the workpiece and the second end of the plurality of features is arranged adjacent a second surface of the workpiece and the cathode is electrically charged, material is removed from the workpiece.
