Method and electrode for machining components by electrochemical machining

A method for the electrochemical machining of a component with at least one electrode that has a first working face with an outer contour, which is shaped so as to form a gap complementary to a surface of the component that is to be produced by the electrochemical machining, and that has a second working face, which can be arranged at an edge of the produced surface of the component in order to remove by machining at least one structure that is formed during the production of the surface at the edge thereof, comprising the following method steps:

• providing the component;
• positioning the first working face of the electrode in a first machining position relative to the component;
• machining the component with the first working face by use of a first set of machining parameters for producing the surface;
• ending the machining of the component with the first working face, at a predetermined position and/or positioning the second working face of the electrode at a predetermined position relative to the component;
• machining the component with the second working face by use of a second set of machining parameters for removing the structure.
