Abstract

Diamond wheels are widely used in high-precision grinding of hard and brittle materials; unfortunately, they are difficult to true and dress. This paper addresses that problem in that it proposes an effective dressing technique—mist-jetting electrical discharge dressing (MEDD) of nonmetal bond diamond grinding wheels using conductive coating. A conductive phase is coated on the wheel surface to increase the conductivity of the nonmetal bond. Electrical discharge model was built to analyze feasibility and select optimized parameters of MEDD. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the dressing performance of MEDD in terms of surface morphology of the wheel surface, grinding force, and surface roughness of the workpiece. Experimental results show that abrasive grains on the wheel protrude are satisfied. The discharge parameters have an important influence on the dressing result. The grinding force and the surface roughness of the workpiece significantly reduced after dressing.
