Parameter Analysis And Optimization Of Electrolytic In-Process Dressing Grinding On Ceramics, Chang-Pin Lin, Kuei-Miao Hsiao, Chun-Chung Wu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

Ceramic materials have been studied and used in considerable industrial applications due to their high hardness and strength at high temperature and extreme wear resistance. However, the machining costs of these materials may reach as high as 90% of their total component costs and the grinding of these materials are much more susceptible to surface damage as compared to metals. Electrolytic InProcess Dressing (ELID) grinding can be used to machine hard and brittle materials, such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), that are difficult to be machined by conventional grinding processes to achieve high surface quality and high material removal rate. The …
