This paper highlights the effect of magnetic field introduced in the electrode gap in electrolytic grinding, when a metal bonded wheel with silicon carbide abrasives was used to face grind tungsten carbide. The effect of feeding force on metal removal rate and current density is reported. Also the effect on power consumption and specific energy consumption is discussed. © 1977.

Magnetic field affects electrochemical grinding

Tribology International

This paper highlights the performance of electrolytic metal bonded aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, and diamond wheels during grinding of tungsten carbide. The metal removal rate and current density were evaluated against grinding force. The process efficiency and the Faraday efficiency were evaluated for the three types of wheels.
