Machining with electrochemical discharges is an unconventional technology able to machine several electrically non-conductive materials like glass or some ceramics. After almost 40 years of its first mention in literature, this technology remains an academic application and was never applied in industrial context. The knowledge about machining of non-conducting materials using electrochemical discharge phenomenon is reviewed up to this date with some particular attention to the electrochemical point of view. Some main limiting factors are highlighted and possible solutions are discussed.
