Abstract

The electrical discharge grinding method is widely used to machine polycrystalline diamond tools because diamond is the hardest material and the traditional abrasive grinding method leads to high tool wear rate. The aim of this study was to find a method to precisely measure the individual diamond crate morphology during the electrical discharge process. A 3D microscopy with the focus-variation technique was chosen to obtain the stereolithography file of the polycrystalline diamond craters. The measurements were shown that the polycrystalline diamond crater morphology is more complex than that of normal tungsten carbide material. This finding can help build more accurate model of polycrystalline crater formation during electrical discharge process.
