Abstract
An electrochemical machining apparatus for forming turbine blades includes a main base, an upper seat and an electrode unit. The main base includes a working platform for allowing a turbine blade to be placed thereon. The working platform includes an upper step stage for resisting the turbine blade, and a lower step stage for keeping a predetermined working space from a portion of the turbine blade desired to be cut. The main base has a guiding channel for allowing an electrolyte to flow through the predetermined working space. The upper seat is configured to cover above the main base and to contact one side of the turbine blade to form an electrical connection. The electrode unit includes an anode electrode electrically connected to the upper seat and at least one cathode electrode disposed on the main base.
