Applications
Electrochemical grinding is often used for hard materials where conventional machining is difficult and time consuming such as stainless steel and some exotic metals[1]. For materials with hardness greater than 65 HRC, ECG can have a material removal rate 10 times that of conventional machining[2]. Because ECG involve little abrasion, it is often used for processes where the surface of the part is needs to be free of burrs, scratches, and residual stresses, such as sharpening hypodermic needles[2]. The largest application of ECG is in the aerospace industry where it is used for manufacturing turbine blades and honeycomb metals[1]. Another major application is for ECG is grinding carbide cutting-tools[2]. It is also used to remove surface defects from parts where excessive material removal and residual stresses are undesired, such as re-profiling locomotive gears[2].
