| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to establish a thermal dressing technique with moving heat source for aluminium powdered poreless elastic (APPLE) wheel, in which heat resistance of bonding material is markedly lower than that of vitrified bond wheel. Mechanical removal of resinoid bond by means of forced interference with PVA bond wheel has been used for dressing of APPLE wheel, but some problems remain as to dressing efficiency, cutting ability and so on. In this report, a single pulse of CW:YAG laser introduced as a heat source is irradiated or scaned on resinoid stick made up of abrasive grain and resinoid bond to make clear a fundamental phenomenon of laser dressing, analyzing transformation, profile of resinoid surface, stiffness of grain mounting and so on. On the basis of these fundamental data, availability of a dressing technique with YAG laser is proved, investigating grinding characteristics of resinoid bond wheel dressed with both YAG laser and PVA bond wheel. Main conclusions obtained in this report are as follows: (1)Transformation of resinoid bond, releasing abrasive grain and vaporization of bonding material take place in this order with laser irradiation. (2)The depth and diameter of heat affected structure increase with increasing power density or irradiating time of laser. (3)As an abrasive grain is mounted nearer to a beam center in heat affected surface, a stiffness of the grain mounting decreases. (4)Thermal dressing for resinoid wheel result in improvement of ground surface roughness, decrease of grinding forces and extension of the grinding wheel life.
