In this paper electrochemical machining of micro slots using a shaped electrode instead of the traditional cylindrical electrode is presented. By applying shaped electrode the flow state of processing can be improved. An electrochemical machining (ECM system for meeting the requirements of the ECM process was established and a shaped electrode was fabricated by BEDG (Block Electrical Discharge Grinding). A set of experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of shaped electrode on machining efficiency and shape precision. The results show that the side gap and frontal gap of the micro slots can be reduced and machining speed will be improved when the shaped electrode was used compare with cylindrical electrode.
