摘要：The article describes a process of electrochemical grinding (ECG – Electrochemical Grinding) with a rectangular diamond grinding wheel made of ceramic – tungsten frit. Treatment of this type of material is very difficult, not only because of adverse physical properties of material itself but also due to very high requirements resulting from conditions of exploitation of a product. In discussed case, the process was carried out for a workpiece consisting of 8 tiles with a total area of about 110 cm2, fastened by screwing to a machine tool table. The article analyses a course of a chemical process, presenting chemical reactions and the course of an electrical process, closely related to a flow of electric current. Particular attention was paid to the flow of electric current as a function of changes in an active surface, understood as a geometric surface through which the electric current can flow. The results of calculation for this surface and an example of a shape of the recorded current waveform are shown. The presented results were used in construction of a control system based on maintaining a constant density of the working current.
