Abstract
An anodic oxidation-assisted grinding apparatus includes an electrolyte supply passage configured to pour an electrolyte at least between a cathode and a workpiece, a direct current power source configured to apply a direct current, via the electrolyte, to an anode, the cathode, and the workpiece to form an anodic oxidation film on a surface of the workpiece, and a grindstone configured to grind the anodic oxidation film formed on the surface of the workpiece.
