Methods and systems of electrochemically machining are provided. The methods may include applying a first potential to a tool electrode of an electrochemical machining system to generate a primary electric field. The electrochemical machining system may include a workpiece opposite the tool electrode, at least one bias electrode, and at least one fluid delivery channel within the at least one bias electrode. The method may further include applying at least one second potential to the at least one bias electrode. The method may further include delivering a charged electrolyte solution through the at least one fluid delivery channel into the electrolyte solution. Applying at least one second potential and the delivering the charged electrolyte solution generates at least one secondary electric field adjacent to the primary electric field and quenches at least one location of the primary electric field.
A method of electrochemically machining a workpiece, the method comprising:
