One of the types of electrolytic lapping is studied for the purpose of making a hole in the cemented carbide alloy. Cathode tool rotation and anode work vibration promote the electrolytic and mechanical removing processes. Electrolyte slurry is water solution of NaNO
3 5%, NaNO
2 5%, NaF 2% mixed with abrasives of 320 mesh SiC or B
4C. Metal removal rate 0.6 g/min is obtained in the following condition : work GTi40 (WC 80%, Co 20%), abrasives SiC, tool section area 1cm
2, tool rotation 450 rpm, work vibration 950 cpm, amplitude 0.2 mm, current 55 A.
Suitable working operation enables to be got a hole with taper of 2 100 and diameter accuracy of ±0.02 mm.
The working effect of electric current which varies with the vibration is studied by means of a pulse current source synchronized with the mechanical vibration. The removal effect of current flowed in the seperate phase is four times greater than that in the contact phase. The current in the seperate phase weakens the surface layer of the carbide alloy and increases the mechanical removal. The current in the contact phase contains the current which has no effect for metal removal.
