Abstract

The study of surface texturing has been a great interest to the researcher over the last years. Surface texturing improves the property of the surface of the material in the working area. It creates a pattern of micron dimensions over the surface to influence the surface property in its working area. Several techniques are used to fabricate these micro dimensions. Electrochemical micromachining (EMM) emerges as a new technique with several benefits. This review paper highlights the advantages of EMM over other processes and discusses different methods to develop the micro-features. EMM process is capable of fabricating micron-size features without changing any surface property at a low cost.
