In recent years, research has been done on electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding of silicon wafers to explore its potential to become a viable manufacturing process. This paper reviews the literature on ELID grinding, covering its set-ups, wheel dressing mechanism, and experimental results.
The main benefit of Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding is that the grinding wheel is continuously dressed even if the grains are very small (up to #3,000,000 mesh size),, .The first appearance of ELID grinding in the literature is probably in 1985, when Murata et al. reported ELID grinding of ceramics using metal-bond diamond wheels with grain sizes smaller than #400.

The groove profile of ball-bearing raceway is of vital importance to ensure the bearing transmission accuracy. It is an attempt to apply electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) groove grinding for the ball-bearing raceway finishing process. The wear rate of the grinding wheel is directly related to the profile accuracy of the bearing raceway. In order to maintain a high-forming accuracy, the ...
ELID. ELID grinding produces good surface characteristics on CVD -SiC films. Tools finished with ELID have wear rates that are less dependent upon the lay of surface finishes. Also wear is minimal when contract pressures are below a critical maximum value, which is coincident with a transition from powder to nonpowder wear mechanisms.

ELID Grinding, since its introduction over two decades ago, has helped in material removal of hard and difficult-to-cut engineering materials. A gist of the important research milestones on the process has been organized in this report. The hybrid process of ELID Grinding has a simultaneous electrolytic reaction and grinding action.
To move grinding wheel speeds into the ultra-high speed grinding (UHSG) regime (above 40,000 fpm or 200 m/sec), the wheel core must be made of metal, and the abrasive is likely to be plated. Such wheels can run at nearsonic speeds (66,000 fpm or 335 m/sec) without the fear of bursting. The safety issue here is more of a "wheel off" situation.
