Method and jig assembly for manufacturing outer blade cutting wheel

摘要

An outer blade cutting wheel comprising an annular thin disc base of cemented carbide and a blade section is manufactured by disposing permanent magnet pieces on the side surfaces and inward of the outer periphery of the base to produce a magnetic field, providing magnetic coated diamond and/or CBN abrasive grains such that the magnetic field may act on the grains, causing the grains to be magnetically attracted to the base outer periphery, and electroplating or electroless plating whereby the abrasive grains are bound to the base outer periphery to form the blade section.

1. A method for manufacturing an outer blade cutting wheel comprising a base in the form of an annular thin disc of cemented carbide having an outer periphery and side surfaces and a blade section formed on the outer periphery of the base, said method comprising the steps of:
disposing at least two permanent magnet pieces having a remanence of at least 0.3 T, and a coercive force of at least 0.2 MA/m each on the side surface of the base and inward of the base outer periphery or within a space located inward of the base outer periphery and extending 20 mm from the side surface of the base, to produce a magnetic field of at least 8 kA/m at the base outer periphery and within a space extending 10 mm from the base outer periphery; sandwiching the base between a pair of jig members, the outer diameter of the jig member being larger than the outer diameter of the base and a space being formed by the jig members and the outer periphery of the base; providing diamond and/or CBN abrasive grains coated with a magnetic material such that said magnetic field may act on the diamond and/or CBN grains, causing the abrasive grains to be attracted and securely held in the space in proximity to the base outer periphery by the resultant attractive force, and electroplating or electroless plating on the base outer periphery with the abrasive grains attracted thereto whereby the abrasive grains are bound to the base outer periphery to form the blade section.
