Abstract

Coarse-grained bronze-bonded diamond grinding wheels dressed using lasers and silicon carbide dressing wheels were used to grind YG8-cemented carbide workpieces. The wear patterns and grinding ratios of the laser-dressed grinding wheels were investigated after different grinding stages. After grinding, the laser-dressed grinding wheel displayed superior surface topography compared to the silicon carbide wheel, and the surface quality of the workpiece also improved. The minimum surface roughness of the workpiece was 0.425 μm. In the initial wear regime, the primary mechanisms included abrasive wear and grain removal. The grinding ratio was approximately 205.4, and the surface roughness of the workpiece after grinding was 0.314 μm. In the steady-state wear regime, abrasive wear was the primary mechanism of wearing, while minor amounts of grain removal and bond wear were observed. The grinding ratio was approximately 405.1, and the surface roughness was 0.337 μm. In the accelerated wear regime, the primary mechanisms were grain removal, abrasive wear, and bond wear. The grinding ratio was approximately 96.0, and the surface roughness was 0.454 μm.
