This document summarizes research on optimizing the process parameters for photochemical machining. It discusses how researchers have studied parameters like etchant concentration, temperature, and time and their effects on responses like undercut, surface roughness, and material removal rate. Optimum values for these parameters have been identified for machining various metals. The document reviews 10 research papers analyzing photochemical machining of materials like copper, aluminum, steel, and phosphor bronze. It is concluded that researchers have optimized parameters for different responses but further work is needed to precisely control micro-geometry during photochemical machining.
