The surface roughness of an electrochemically machined workpiece was measured using a Taylor Hobson Surtronic 3+ instrument over a 4mm length. A skid pick up stylus with a 5μm diamond tip was used to measure the roughness and Taly Profile 3.1 software was used to acquire and evaluate the data. The results showed that decreasing the inter-electrode gap rapidly improved the surface quality, while increasing the gap resulted in a rougher surface.

The surface roughness of the electrochemically machined workpiece was measured
using Taylor Hobson manufactured instrument surtronic 3+ (112/1590). The length
for which roughness test was carried out was 4mm. it has a selectable range of 10m, 100m and 500m. resolution used to carry out the experiment was 0.5 m. the instrument had a selectable cut off value of 0,25mm, 0.8mm and 2.5mm. Skid pick up stylus with diamond tip radius 5m was used to measure the surface roughness. The software used for data acquisition and evaluation of surface roughness was Taly profile 3.1.

Base on the result obtained and graphs plotted, and earliest studies revealed that reduction in inter-electrogap would certainly lead to improvement of the surface quality of the workpiece rapidly, but as the inter-electrogap increases the surface quality try to remain the same, rough surface.
