Abstract
A method and apparatus for removing clogging material from between abrasive grains of a grinding wheel. A pressurized blasting fluid is supplied to a blasting gun, which in turn sucks an abrasive particle-liquid slurry into the gun. The slurry is entraining in the stream of blasting fluid, causing the liquid to be broken down into mist particles, and the resultant stream is discharged against the surface of the grinding wheel at a pressure in the range of 2.0 to 3.5 kg/cm.sup.2.
Claims6
A method using a blasting gun for dressing the peripheral surface of a super abrasive grinding wheel, comprising the steps of providing a liquid and abrasive particle slurry containing a maximum of 10% by volume of abrasive particles, supplying a pressurized blasting fluid to said blasting gun for use as a source of blasting energy ejecting the pressurized blasting fluid into an interior chamber of the blasting gun to create a suction therein which in turn induces the flow of slurry into said interior chamber so that the slurry becomes entrained and intermixed with the pressurized blasting fluid and the liquid in the slurry is broken down into small particles of mist, and discharging the pressurized blasting fluid containing therein the abrasive particles and the mist particles from the gun at a pressure in the range of 2.0 to 3.5 kgf./cm.cm. for impingement against the peripheral surface of the grinding wheel.
