Adsorption Mechanism of Magnetic Induction Free-Abrasive Grain and Its Effect on Cutting Performance of Wire Saws

This paper proposes a method of free-abrasive wire sawing in the magnetic field Magnetic abrasive grains are absorbed on surface of the wire by magnetic force, and therefore more magnetic abrasive grains are carried into cutting area. This mechanism is helpful to improve the cutting performance of wire saws. Theoretical modeling of the movement trajectory of magnetic abrasive grains is done in the magnetic field, and it is also verified by observation experiments of movement trajectory of magnetic abrasive grains. Absorption angle, which is used as the indicator of adsorption capacity about magnetic abrasive grain on surface of the wire, is proposed in this paper The effect of magnetic field intensity on absorption angle is analyzed through computer simulations and observation experiments. Practical experiments and cutting results show that the change of magnetic field intensity has a significant impact on cutting efficiency, surface roughness, and kerf width.
