Development of Electric Rust Preventive Machining Method in Cylindrical Grinding(Grinding technology)

Abstract

The electricity rust preventive machining method is proposed to effective prevents the workpiece from rusting in the cylindrical grinding only with water. The workpiece as a cathode is protected from rusting by supplying the electric current through the water. This method leads to the ecology machining because the water without extreme pressure agents, mineral oils and so on included in conventional machining fluid. Therefore, this method saves much work in a treatment of stale machining fluid. In this paper, the electric rust preventive machining method is developed and investigated its application to cylindrical grinding.
