Introduction
Titanium alloys are very attractive constructional material and
used in many fields of industry: automotive, aircraft, aerospace,
armaments, chemical and medical, for production of implants.
These materials are characterised by very advantageous strength
ratio to their mass, great fatigue strength, corrosion resistance and

Presented experiments aimed at determination of effects of
AEDG conditions on effectiveness of removal of machining
allowance. It was estimated on the basis of measurements of the
tangential grinding force and energy of spark electric discharge.
The accuracy of forming of surface geometrical texture was
evaluated by means of determination of surface roughness and
wave finish parameters in 2D and 3D systems. The experiments
comprised influence of:
x polarization of electrode on the specific grinding force,
x variation in the pulse duration and pause on the specific
grinding force,
x variation in the voltage and intensity of electric current during
AEDG process on the specific grinding force, the energy of
