Abstract

High-efficiency and precision machining of complicated components can be realized by using metal-bonded CBN grinding wheel. However, the difficulty in dressing those superabrasive grinding wheels is one of the main obstructions to popularize its application in industry. Different from the traditional methods, the aim of the paper is to investigate the electro-discharge dressing of bronze-bonded CBN formed grinding wheel. Based on the analysis of electrical discharge parameters and grinding performance, the results show that electro-discharge dressing of CBN formed grinding wheel is feasible. With the increase of pulse duration, pulse voltage and pulse current, the dressing efficiency is increasing, more abrasive grains are protruding, but surface topography of grinding wheel is worsen. Therefore, grinding tests show that, in order to get the dressing quality better and keep the dressing efficiency higher, the bigger electrical discharge parameters are chosen for rough dressing process and the smaller ones are chosen for finishing process.
