Abstract
Abstract The demand for silicon carbide ceramics has increased significantly in the last decade due to its reliable properties. Sometimes, single side grinding is preferable over surface grinding, because it has the ability to produce flat surfaces. However, the manufacturing cost is still high because of the high tool wear and long machining time. Additionally, most of these grinding processes are followed by a lapping process. One of the ways to eliminate the lapping process is to use electrolysis in process dressing technique (ELID). Part of the solution also entails investigating the influence of different variables on the workpiece surface finish and material removal rate. This chapter presents the influence of the wheel #400 on the roughness and material removal rate. In order to do this based on the experimental results, a full factorial experiment was developed on three levels of each variable: the spindle and wheel speed, the applied load and the eccentricity. These four variables have been investigated and a model has been established for the roughness and the material removal rate individually.
