Development of high efficiency ELID grinding for steel

Abstract

ELID-grinding is expected to be applied to most grinding operations in productions. The combination of ELID and an ultraprecision grinding machine has been proved to be effective for obtaining higher shape accuracy, and lower subsurface damage, together with improved surface roughness. In this paper using the ELID grinding technique, a high efficiency machining method had been discussed. The effect of cylindrical steel samples will be discussed.
