electrolytic in process dressing grinding importance
2011-7-1 ELID grinding consists of three steps (i) the precision truing of a micro-grain grinding wheel (ii) the pre-dressing process of the wheel by electrolysis and (iii) the grinding process using electrolytic in-process dressing. The ELID grinding process Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding is a new technique for achieving a nanoscale surface finish on hard and brittle materials such as optical glass and ceramics. This process applies an electrochemical dressing on the metal-bonded diamond wheels to ensure constant protrusion of sharp cutting grits throughout the grinding cycle.
