Study on Grinding Mechanism of BCB Grinding Wheel
BCB(Bamboo Charcoal Bonded) grinding wheel is a new kind of grinding wheel developed by bamboo charcoal-phenolic resin composite for ELID(Electrolysis In-process Dressing) grinding technique. To study the affection of the ground workpiece surface roughness and removal rate with this new kind of grinding technique, the stainless steel SUS304 was ground using BCB grinding wheel in different machining parameters with ELID grinding condition, and the machining characteristics of BCB grinding wheel has been researched. The experimental results indicated that the ground workpiece surface roughness can be reached to Ra 0.010μm, and the efficient and precision machining with BCB grinding wheel by ELID grinding technique has been achieved for hard-to-cut materials. Finally, by studying of the grinding wheel surface condition and wear, the BCB grinding wheel grinding mechanism has been preliminary discussed.
