This paper conducted Electro-Contact Discharge (ECD) dressing experiment for #600 diamond grinding wheel to understand how fine diamond grits protrude from metal-bonded wheel surface. The SEM observation, EDS analysis, image processing and 3D grit modeling on wheel surface were carried out to investigate grit protrusion characteristics. Then ECD dressing and mechanical dressing experiments were carried out to identify the effect of grit protrusion feature on grinding performance. It is confirmed that the dressed wheel surface topography is sensitive to open circuit voltage Ei, discharge polarity and electrode composition. Meanwhile, ECD dressing with Ei=15V and straight polarity can produce superior protrusion topography without the damage of diamond crystal faces and the bond tail behind protrusive grit. It can obtain better ground surface of hard-brittle material than mechanical dressing with the bond tail.

This paper introduces a new arc envelop truing method of metal-bonded diamond grinding. It utilizes the arc profile of rotary cone-shaped truer, namely electrode, to envelop wheel profile during Electro-Contact Discharge (ECD) truing. The aim is to realize precision truing of diamond grinding wheel profile for grinding of hard-brittle material. The arc envelope truing principle of wheel profile was analyzed by the use of 3D spatial geometry to identify lean angle of the truer. Then the arc envelop truing and grinding experiments were carried out to investigate truing precision and ground surface in comparison with straight truing and GC stick truing. It was confirmed that the arc envelope truing can obtain sub-micro truing precision of metal-bonded diamond grinding wheel at the depth of cut of micro degree. It may improve greatly form accuracy and ground surface.

A 3D profiler based on scanning white light interferometry with a lateral sampling interval of 0.11μm was introduced to measure the surface topography of a #3000 diamond grinding wheel, and a large sampling area could be achieved by its stitching capability without compromising its lateral or vertical resolution. The protrusion height distribution of diamond grains and the static effective grain density of the grinding wheel were derived, and the wheel chatter and the deformation of the wheel were analyzed as well. The study shows that the grain protrusion height obeys an approximate normal distribution, the static effective grain density is much lower than the theoretical density, and only a small number of diamond grains are effective in the grinding process with fine diamond grinding wheel. There exists waviness on the grinding wheel surface parallel with the wheel cutting direction. The cutting surface of the grinding wheel is not flat but umbilicate, which indicates that the elastic deformation at the wheel edges is much larger than in the center region.

A grinding wheel wears rapidly during ultrasonic assisted surface generation of a large aperture aspherical RB-SiC mirror, which leads to an increase of grinding force and profile error. In this paper, different types of resinoid bonded diamond grinding wheel with a same grit size were dressed with high-pressure abrasive water jet. The dressing effects of abrasive water jet were assessed through comparing the 3D roughness of the grinding wheel topographies before and after dressing. The experimental results show that diamond grits of a worn grinding wheel are protruding from bond after dressing. The feed rate of nozzle and the bond materials have significant impact on the 3D surface roughness of the wheel and dressing efficient. The softer binder and the decrease of the feed rates and lead to deeper grooves during dressing of grinding wheel. However, too low feed rate will make a large number of abrasive particles drop from binder, which worsens the wheel topography. Therefore, to dress grinding wheel well and efficiently, optimized feed rate must be chosen.

Fractal dimension is proposed to evaluate grit protrusion feature concerning grit protrusion area and length. The aim is to investigate crystal integrate of diamond grit protruded from grinding wheel after dressing. First, 3D crystal diamond grits are established in AutoCAD concerning various crystal configurations. Second, fractal dimension for original diamond grit is analyzed theoretically. Then, dressing experiment is carried out to investigate fractal dimension of grit protrusion topography by suing image processing of SEM photos of dressed grinding wheel surface. Finally, grit protrusion feature is investigated by fractal dimension concerning the depth of cut in dressing process. It is confirmed that fractal dimension can display grit protrusion feature and it may be used to evaluate dressing performance.

In order to realize ductile machining of optical glasses using mono-layer nickel electroplated coarse-grained diamond grinding wheel, a novel conditioning technique features using a copper bonded diamond grinding wheels of 15m grain size dressed by ELID (electrolytic inprocess dressing) to condition the 46m grain sized diamond wheel has been developed. During the conditioning process, a force transducer was used to monitor the conditioning force, a coaxial optical distance measurement system was used to in-situ monitor the modified wheel surface status. White-light interferometry (WLI), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the conditioned wheel surface status as well as the ground optical glass surface topography correspondingly. The experimental result indicates that a minimized wheel radial run-out error of less than 2μm as well as the top-flattened diamond grains of constant wheel peripheral envelop profile were generated on a 5-axis ultra-precision machine tool. The grinding experiment proved that the well conditioned 46μm coarse-grained diamond wheel can be used in realizing the ductile grinding of optical glass BK7, which indicates that the newly developed conditioning technique is feasible and applicable to introduce the coarse-grained diamond wheels into precision machining of brittle and hard-to-machine materials.
