Laser-Assisted Truing for Metal-Bonded Diamond Wheel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Truing and dressing are time-consuming processes in precise finishing with super-abrasive wheels because of the hard super-abrasive grains which cause extensive wear of truer. In this paper, laser-assisted truing method for super-abrasive wheels is introduced. Feasibility of the proposed method is confirmed by fundamental experiments conducted with metal-bonded diamond wheel and pulsed Nd:YAG laser. On the surface of wheel irradiated with laser beam, it is found that the abrasive grains are degraded and the machinability of surface layer is remarkably improved.
