Dynamic Friction Polishing Method Utilizing Resistance Heating for Efficient Removal of Electrically Conductive Diamond

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new dynamic friction polishing method which utilizes resistance heating for solving a problem of too high pressure on a workpiece in the previous dynamic friction polishing method proposed by the authors. In the new method, an electrically conductive diamond workpiece (which has proper electric resistance) is heated by an electrical current flowing from a stainless steel disc tool to the diamond workpiece during the dynamic friction polishing and the polishing efficiency increases remarkably even at a very low pressure on the workpiece. For example, polishing efficiencies of 233 and 800 µm/min are attained at low pressures of 2 and 5 MPa, respectively, at a disc sliding speed of 2500 m/min.
