Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rotary diamond dressers for dressing grinding surfaces of grinding wheels.
  • diamond grains 45 having octahedral grain shapes are set in an annular band part 44 of the dresser 40, which includes both the junction point C between the straight part 41 and the arcuate part 42 of the dresser 40 and the area around the junction point C, and has the center on a rotary axis 43, such that one crystal surface 46 of each diamond grain 45 is exposed outside parallel to the circumference of the dresser 40.
  • a plurality of V-grooves 211 are formed, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 of the official gazette, on the front end of a metal shank 2 such that the surfaces of each of the V-grooves 211 are divergent from each other at an opening angle of about 110 degrees, which is equal to the angle defined between two oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of an octahedral diamond grain 1.
  • a plurality of octahedral diamond grains 1 are sequentially set in the V-grooves 211 such that the two oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of each octahedral diamond grain 1 are soldered to the V-grooves 211 using solder made of an alloy of titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), etc.
  • each of the octahedral diamond grains is bonded to a female frame 50 at the oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) and is integrated with the female frame 50 by injecting molten nickel silver, added with fine powder, such as tungsten powder, between the female frame 50 and a core 51.
  • molten nickel silver added with fine powder, such as tungsten powder
  • the oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of the octahedral diamond grains are set in the inner surface of the female frame, so that the abrasion-resistant oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of the octahedral diamond grains are not exposed outside the circumferential surface of the rotary diamond dresser. Further, the oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of the octahedral diamond grains are cleavage surfaces, so that the oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,0) or the oriented crystal surfaces (1,0,0) of the octahedral diamond grains are preferably exposed outside the circumferential surface of the rotary diamond dresser so as to take part in dressing work.
  • the two oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of the octahedral diamond grains 1 are seated in and soldered to the V-grooves 211 having an opening angle of about 110 degrees, and the oriented crystal surfaces (1,0,0) of the octahedral diamond grains 1 dress a grinding wheel.
  • the diamond dresser in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 3450085 in which the diamond grains 1 are soldered to the front end of the shank 2, is not a rotary diamond dresser, and thus the number of the diamond grains 1 that take part in dressing work is reduced and thus the diamond grains are heavily abraded.
  • an error in the size of the front end of the diamond dresser may be generated, so that the diamond dresser may fail to dress the grinding surface of a grinding wheel to form a desired shape. Further, because the diamond dresser uses only expensive octahedral diamond grains, the diamond dresser increases the cost of dressing the grinding surface of a grinding wheel.

  • the sintered metal cannot strongly hold the octahedral diamond grains on the dressing body, and furthermore, increases the production cost of the dresser.
  • the angle of the conical middle part of the circumference of the circular double-sided truncated conical diamond dresser is formed as an acute angle of less than about 70 degrees, defined between the two opposite surfaces of the four oriented crystal surfaces (1,1,1) of each octahedral diamond grain, the side surfaces of the octahedral diamond grains are exposed outside the sintered metal, and thus the octahedral diamond grains may be easily removed from the dressing body. Therefore, sintering cannot desirably secure the octahedral diamond grains to the dressing body.
