Polymer nanocomposites have become the best possible materials to replace metals and alloys. However, the available options for the machining processes for these materials are very limited due to their electrically non-conductive nature. Electrochemical discharge peripheral surface grinding (ECDPSG) process can be a potential machining process for such materials. Therefore, in the present work, an attempt has been made to investigate the performance of ECDPSG process in terms of MRR and Ra. The two types of wheel (metallic non-abrasive wheel and metal-bonded abrasive wheel), have been used to machine alumina-reinforcedepoxy-nanocomposite. It has been found that at lower wheel rotation, MRR using the metallic non-abrasive wheel is more than the MRR using a metal-bonded abrasive wheel. However, this difference between MRR obtained using both wheels decreased with the increase in wheel rotation. Ra has been found less using metal-bonded abrasive wheel at all respective wheel rotations.
