The paper presents results of the investigation into efficiency of high-tensile composite materials grinding with metal bonded diamond abrasive tools, as well as it demonstrates the necessity to stabilize diamond disks cutting properties in order to reduce cutting power, since it is one of important economic indicators of processing. The comparative analysis of preliminary studies of various diamond processing methods reveals that the minimal cutting power is observed when using the combined method of electric powered diamond processing which includes electrochemical grinding and simultaneous continuous electrochemical dressing of the grinding disk surface. Further research into the suggested method reveals relevant mathematical dependences of metal-bonded diamond disks cutting power and electric modes. The analysis of the results shows that combining of hard-alloy surface electrochemical dissolution and electrochemical dressing of the disk surface facilitates mechanical cutting with high effectiveness and little effort. This leads to substantial reduction of cutting power as compared with other methods. The reasonable electric modes are discovered which provide the minimal cutting power without reducing efficiency of the process and quality of finished product.
Issues related to processing modern high-strength composites have been discussed. The reasons for degradation of performance of metallic binder diamond tools in traditional processing are highlighted. Design solutions for practical modernization of general-purpose metal-grinding equipment are offered. Advantages of combined diamond tool processing are defined to provide effective applica
