The electrochemical grinding process bears some resemblance to creep-feed grinding, in that both feed material more slowly than conventional surface grinding. However, while creep-feed can be used to enhance surface finish, that method was designed mainly for removing large amounts of material in one pass.
Electrochemical grinding (ECG) is a hybrid finishing process combining advantages of ECM and mechanical grinding processes to produce burr-free, stress-free and super finished components. Figure depicts the schematic of a simple ECG setup in which the abrasive grinding wheel is made as cathode and while the workpiece is made anode using

Electrolyte grinding is a modification of both the grinding and electrochemical machining. In this process, machining is affected both by the grinding action and by the electrochemical process. Hence, in the true sense, it may be called 'mechanically assisted electrochemical machining. Working Principle of Electrochemical Grinding
electrochemical forming process. The noteworthy feature of electrolysis is that electrical energy is used to produce a chemical reaction, therefore, the machining process based on this principle is known as Electrochemical machining (ECM). This process works on the principle of of Faraday's laws of electrolysis.
Grinding, by combining with grinding processes (using the negatively charged abrasive grinding wheel) to remove material. The process is also referred to as electrochemical grinding. Cutting cavities, drilling deeper and even irregular-shaped holes in complex structures like jet engine turbine blades.
Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a method of removing metal by an electrochemical process. It is normally used for mass production and is used for working extremely hard materials or materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods. Its use is limited to electrically conductive materials. ECM can cut small or odd-shaped angles, intricate contours …
