Abstract

This study aims to conduct experiments to explore metal based diamond wheel dressing and truing using developed wire electrical discharge (WEDM). The experimental outputs were analyzed to evaluate the effects of machining parameters on machining removal rate (MRR) and abrasive protrusion during dressing and truing caused by WEDM. During experiments, the wear and compensation issues could be overcome induced by the traditional EDM to improve the efficiency and precision as the WEDM was adopted. The experimental results showed as expected that the wire discharge grinding wheel dressing will lead the processing base not offset. In Taguchi experiment the maximum contribution was current and pulse time, large diameter grinding wheel to remove the highest rate of 11.78 mm3/min, while maximum protrusion amount only 33.12 μm, can reach the theoretical maximum protrusion amount.
