Discrepancies are sometimes observed between theoretical and actual metal removal rates and electrode feed rates.

Discrepancies are sometimes observed between theoretical and actual metal removal rates and electrode feed rates. Correct Answer True

In practise, metal removal rates are often higher than the estimated ones because; (1) The exact valency at which a metal behaves in the reaction is generally unknown. (2) ECM continuously exposes a new and clean surface to the electrolyte which is easily attacked chemically. It also varies with electrolyte used and metal being machined.
