Research on Electrical Discharge Truing for Precision Profile Grinding with Cast Iron-Bonded Diamond Wheel

Abstract:

In this paper, a precise profile ELID grinding with Electrical Discharge Truing(EDT) has been introduced, and some experiments for efficient and precision EDT process with cast iron-bonded diamond wheel have been carried out with four types of medium: mist, water, pressure air, air, furthermore some machining parameters e.g. electric current, electric voltage have been discussed in detail. For analyzing of the accuracy of EDT process with cast-iron bonded diamond wheel, a profile measurement method with software of MATLAB was used for analyzing of the profiles of cast-iron-bonded diamond wheel and electrode. It can be found that the electrode’s profile can be kept with the consistent designed profile, and the grinding wheel with the designed profile has been got by the appropriate EDT process. Therefore the higher efficiency and precision EDT process can be achieved by the appropriate EDT machining parameters.
