Grinding turbine blades[8]
Grinding honeycomb metals for aerospace application[8]
Sharpening hypodermic needles[8]
Machining carbide cutting-tool inserts[8]
ECG is used to remove surface defects from parts where excessive material removal and residual stresses are undesired, such as re-profiling locomotive gears[8]
Removal of fatigue cracks from underwater steel structures. In this case, seawater itself acts as the electrolyte. Diamond particles in the grinding wheel remove any non-conducting organic matter, such as algae, before electrochemical grinding begins.[9]
