Abstract
In this article, introduces and reviews abrasive processes assisted by electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) technique. This in situ dressing method is used for metal-bond wheels and is relatively new. As illustrated by the examples given below, the introduction of this technique has been highly successful when fine grain wheels were efficiently used to obtain very low surface roughness, and when hard ceramics had to be machined using a very small grain cutting depth in order to avoid failure by cracking.The basic system, principles, and characteristics of ELID abrasion mechanisms are introduced first. The success and wide application of ELID principles to ceramic grinding are explained. Fourteen applications of the ELID principle to modern abrasive processes are documented to illustrate the scope of application.

Keywords
Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID), electrode, grinding abrasive, ceramic materials, biomedical materials.
