The Fabrication of the Convex Platform Surface with Phyllotactic Pattern by Electrolytic Etching Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to get the convex surface with phyllotactic pattern, the convex surface with phyllotactic pattern on end face of work-piece and its mask were designed based on the phyllotactic theory of biology, the surface was fabricated by electrolytic etching method, and also the fabricating processes were investigated .The results show that the convex surface with phyllotactic pattern can be fabricated by electrolytic etching method , and under the condition of room temperature (25°C), composite etching liquid which composed of NaCl,NaNO3,Na3PO4,etc., has better performance than the pure NaCl etching fluid, and in the current density of 15A/dm2, the etching rate was 3.292μm/min by composite etching liquid when steel 45 is etched. This technology can be used for fabricating the end grinding wheel with the phyllotactic pattern of abrasive clusters.
