Under the same energy conditions, the avergage current density of the processing increase with smaller diameters, which results in a limiting current density to major problems in the machining accuracy and also to increase the wear. With the increase in diameter but also the flushing changed in the working gap, so that no definite statment can be made for the dependence of tool diameter for wear. With increasing diameter, the percentage of critical border zone, increases, which is a factor in increasing the wear again.
From the application example, it also depends on whether only the wear in front gap or the side gap must be considered.
The detemination of wear, therefore, is to determine from a complete change in weight does not always make sense (optimization!!).
