In honing works, the loading of abrasive sticks is thought to play an important role in its finishing process, for example, the creation of smooth surfaces and high dimensional accuracies is generally said to be accompanied with the development of the loading. But there has been no appropriate method for mesuring this loading, so its growing process and influences still have not been fully investigated.
In this study, a method of magnetical in-process measurement of this loading is developed with the object of the application to the experimental analysis of honing mechanisms, and its characteristics and applicability are investigated in the cast-iron honing experiment. The main results are as follows;
(1) For the measurement of the loading in such cases as honing works in which the abrasive tools move slowly, the utilization of the magnetic resistance change accompanied with the loading is available, differing from the case of the grinding loading reported in the previous paper.
(2) In the application experiment, the developed apparatus has well operated and some aspect of the loading in the cast-iron honing, for example, its growing process and its relations with the metal removals and the surface finish, has been definitely shown.
