Device of magnesium alloy grinding using periodic cleaning of the active surface of grinding wheel during machining

Abstract

In the paper the range of requirements concerning grinded surface layers for deposition of protective PVD coatings on magnesium alloys has been presented. Also difficulties concerning the preparation of surface layer and literature review have been depicted. For solving of the problems concerning proper preparation of magnesium alloy surface layer the conventional grinding process using ceramic grinding wheels and the process of cleaning of CSGW during machining has been applied. The machining parameters has been determined and the surface geometrical structure has been assessed using optical profiling in 3D configuration.
