Study on Precision Grinding Technique of PCD Tool's Cutting Edge

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) composite sheet is a kind of material for cutter blank, which is formed by uniformly mixing micron diamond particles and metal binder powder such as Co and Ni, then sintered on WC under high pressure and high temperature. PCD tools have broad application and very high commercial value. However, compared with other materials, PCD tools’ service life relies greatly on blade sharpening quality. This paper just experimented on preparing precision blade of CTB002 PCD composite sheet on grinding machine of high precision diamond tools and with different performance parameters of TYROLIT diamond grinding wheel. Rotational speed of grinding wheel, grain size of grinding wheel and grinding pressure were researched in the orthogonal test method, which have the largest influence on grinding process, and influencing rules and the best combination of the three parameters are obtained.
