Ultrasonic Assistance in Electrofinishing and Grinding on Cylinder Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

For the purpose of elevating the efficiency of the surface finish to reach the fast improvement of the roughness of the cylinder surface, a new finish module combination of electrofinishing, grinding, and ultrasonic assistance is investigated. The present study discusses the surface roughness of YCS3 materials after traditional machining (turning, drawing, rolling, extrusion, etc.), of which the cylinder surface used a design finish-tool includes a ring-form electrode and a nonconductive grinding wheel to execute the continuous processes of electrofinishing and grinding. In the experiment, the external cylindrical workpiece is put into the compound circular finishing-tool to execute the polishing processes by automatic continuity production. The ultrasonic energy is used to transmit to the electrolyte. By the compound production of electrofinishing and grinding, the multiple effects not only included polishing processes of electrofinishing and grinding but also included the ultrasonic assistance from the ultrasonic energy is transmitted to the electrolyte to assist the dregs and cuttings discharge during polishing processes.
