Summary

The critical parameter for ECG, as for ECM, is that of electrochemical gap.Four main factors influence this gap when surface grinding with a vertical spindle configuration: the principle of operation, the grinding wheel conditioning, the geometrical accuracy of the machine tool and the forced vibration level. The paper combines a short fundamental analysis and related experimental work to establish the contributing role of each of the above factors for process control.
