Abstract

A highly efficient mirror surface grinding technology has been developed for hard and brittle materials various metal materials, by employing the ELID (electrolytic in-process dressing) grinding method using metal bonded grinding wheels. In this research, some typical applications of ELID-grinding for cylindrical grinding are introduced and the mirror grinding characteristics are investigated. Good results are obtained in the grinding of ceramics and tungsten carbide.
