ELECTROLYTIC GRINDING

ELECTROLYTIC GRINDING

In the process of ELG, an abrasive wheel, much like a standard grinding wheel, is used. The abrasive wheel bond is metal, thus making it a conducting medium. The abrasive grains in the grinding wheel are non-conducting  and aid in removing oxides from the workpiece while helping to maintain the gap between the wheel and the work.                            

ELG, like ECM, is a depleting process and the workpiece material is carried away by the circulating electrolyte.
