Hypothesis
Can the layout of bottom outlet holes in an abrasive tool improve the surface flatness of titanium matrix composites during electrochemical mill grinding?
Conclusion
The proposed tool with bottom outlet holes significantly improved the flatness of the machined surface and reduced surface roughness.
Supporting Evidence
- The bottom flatness was reduced by 61.2% when using the new tool design.
- Surface roughness decreased by 90.6% after finish machining.
- The tool with bottom outlet holes improved electrolyte flow and material removal rates.
Takeaway
This study shows that adding holes to a grinding tool helps make the surface of titanium composites smoother and flatter.
Methodology
Dynamic flow field simulations and rough machining experiments were conducted to assess the effects of the bottom outlet holes on machining performance.
Limitations
The study primarily focuses on a specific tool design and may not generalize to all machining scenarios.
