This chapter represents a state-of-the-art process in the domain of electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) abrasives. The information enclosed represents a considerable effort of analysis and s)mthesis of more than 50 titles from most relevant research published on this topic in the United States, Japan, and western Europe for the last 10 years. A comprehensive description of the principle and characteristic mechanisms of ELID abrasion are introduced. Specific features of each component of ELID grinding and polishing system are described further. Next, an explanation of the successful and wide application of ELID principles to ceramic grinding is furnished. Most important, 14 applications of ELID principle to modern abrasive processes are documented. The final summary and conclusions represent a handy tool for rapid information on ELID abrasion.

Factorial experiments of DSG of alumina ceramics with diamond were carried out in the experimental conditions listed in Table 12.1. Before each experiment, the wheels were dressed to a completely restored cutting ability according to the bond type the vitrified bond wheel was dressed mechanically with silicon carbide superfine dressing sticks, whereas the metal bond wheel was predressed using an electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) technique.
