ELID ultra-precision grinding mirror surface can achieve nanometer precision. However, after the grinding wheel passivates the abrasive particles in electrolysis, it is easy to scratch the ultra-precision ELID grinding surface into the grinding process. In order to solve this problem, a non-abrasive grain α-Fe bonded grinding wheel is propose, which contains no abrasive particles. After electrolysis, oxide film is formed on the surface of the wheel. In ultra-precision ELID grinding, there is no abrasive particles involved, only the polishing effect of oxide film. There is no need to worry about the scratching of exfoliated abrasive particles that have been machined on ultra-precision ELID surfaces. Thus achieving extremely high surface accuracy.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristic and function of oxide film formed on grinding wheel in electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) precision grinding and improve the quality of ELID grinding. Design/methodology/approach Dynamic film forming experiments were carried out with a simulation device close to the actual processing conditions. Then, the ELID grinding experiments of bearing rings were performed using grinding wheels with good film forming effect. The experiment was designed by quadratic regression general rotation combination method. The influence of grinding depth, electrolytic voltage, duty cycle and grinding wheel linear speed on grinding effect is analyzed. Findings A mathematical model for the formation rate of oxide film was established. The experiments show that the composition of grinding wheel and grinding fluid, as well as the electrical parameters, influence the film forming effect. Thus, the oxide film plays an important role in ELID grinding. Originality/value This study provides a reference for the design and selection of grinding wheel and grinding fluid and the setting of process parameters in ELID grinding.

In this document, the electrolytic in-process dressing ( ELID ) grinding technique is used for ultra-precision processing experimental research on the carbonized cold-rolled steel (HRC60~80).A surface roughness of Ra6~8nm was obtained after ELID precision grinding. The results proved that adopting micro grain size (W1.5~W36) and high hardness cast iron based diamond grinding wheel, increasing the wheel peripheral velocity (18~20m/s) and reducing grinding depth can effectively improve surface quality and bring the surface roughness down. The wheel peripheral velocity, grinding depth as well as grinding fluid are the main factors during ultra-precision grinding.

A new way of precision machining was studied through the experiments of Electrolytic In-Process Dressing (ELID) precision grinding and ultra precision lapping and polishing for W-Mo metal alloy. First a 22nm(Ra) surface was obtained through the ELID grinding, last a 11nm(Ra) surface was obtained after the process of lapping and polishing with 0.1~0.3 N/cm2pressure, 60~100 r/min rotational speed and other optimized parameters. Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of ultra precision mirror surface of the alloy was also analyzed. The experiments prove surface quality of the work piece was guaranteed by ELID grinding, and which was also greatly affected by some parameters in lapping and polishing such as pressure, rotational speed.

This paper is a report on the process of developing a desktop machine tool to be used in “Micro Workshops.” It incorporates emerging technologies for the production of “micro parts and components” as a newMonotsukuriThe resultant desktop machine tool was developed after designing structures which simultaneously meet both requirements of lighter weight and sufficient rigidity and which prove to be capable of producing mirror quality finish using the electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding .system.In order to verify the successful achievement of mirror surface grinding, a fine grain (#8000) abrasive grinding wheel used in the ELID grinding system was employed to generate an aspherical surface by cross grinding technique after completion of development on the aforementioned simultaneous achievement of lightness and rigidity for mainframe structure of the machine.The grinding wheels used in this experiment were a grinding wheel of #1200 diamond abrasive grain bonded with cast iron and another type of grinding wheel of #8000 cerium oxide abrasive grain bonded with metal resin.As the basic experiment, a silica-glass workpiece was ground and finished using the cross-grinding technique. The result showed that stable grinding and finishing operations can be achieved without burning during grinding even by using a very fine abrasive grain of #8000 or higher.

Surface characteristics of CZT wafers machined using wire sawing, free abrasives lapping and polishing and ultra-precision grinding were investigated. Wire sawing resulted in the removal of material in both ductile and brittle regimes, but both polishing and grinding led to a ductile removal. The grinding produced very smooth surfaces free of embeddings and scratches, which is thus considered to have better machinability than the free abrasive machining. The nanoindentation and nanoscratch on MCT wafers at nanometric scales resulted in considerable plastic deformation, but no fracture features. The hardness of the MCT wafer was 500 to 550 MPa, and the coefficient of friction was particularly high, ranging from 0.45 to 0.55.

In this paper we analyze the forming mechanism of composite abrasive grains in oxide film on ELID grinding wheel surface, By using composition information and by taking advantage of microscale structure, we have investigated that abrasive grains surface is covered by a layer of oxide film and the fresh oxide film is loose and porous like turtle shaped crack when crushed and dried. The elements of oxide film consist of α-Fe2O3 with sphere grain of 5-50nm. This phenomena is demonstrated that the composite abrasive grains in oxide film is a compound structure which is centered by abrasive grains, with α-Fe2O3,Fe (OH)3 surrounded.
