Experimental investigation into electrorheological fluid-assisted polishing of glass-ceramic

摘要

A series of experiments are conducted to polish glass-ceramic by a circular-type integrated electrode tool in the electrorheological(ER) fluid-assisted polishing process.In this study,the microstructure of fibrous columns formed by particles perpendicular to the electrodes is observed when the electrical field is applied.The mass of ER polishing fluid gathered on the tip of tool electrode and the normal pressure in polishing area are measured by the dynamometer.The influential regularities of the concentrations of abrasive particles,the applied voltage,the spindle rotational speed,mixing ratio for abrasives and the gap between tool electrode and workpiece on the surface roughness are obtained by experiments.
