Influence of hard alloys CEDG modes on the size of dissolved layer
Correctly assigned technological modes of processing define the accuracy of forming, optimum mechanical and electrochemical speed of the processed material removal, quality and durability of the cutting tool as well as provide the self-sharpening conditions for the grinding wheel. The purpose of this work is to increase the efficiency of hard alloys combined electric diamond grinding (CEDG) by establishing a dependence between the amount of material removed by mechanical cutting and the depth of the layer dissolved by electrolytic processes. Achieving the stated goal allows to solve the problem of defects occurrence on the processed surface and to minimize economic expenses for machine-building production processing. The article presents the results of mathematical calculations of the parameters influence on the size of the dissolved surface layer, as well as the current dependent removal rate for hard alloys. We determine qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the hard alloy dissolved layer dependence on the mechanical and electrical parameters of CEDG, such as the depth of grinding and anode current density, and demonstrate their analytical dependence.
