The adhesive effects between abrasive particle and work on tool wear of the polishing process were considered in the study. Adhesive strength of the interfaces may affect wear rates of tool on the different adhesive way. Several sets of experiments were designed to reveal some phenomena about the wear rates of tool and work. There are variations in the adhesive of the interface causing different degree of tool wear for distinct kind of abrasive particle¡Bwork and tool¡¦s material. The experimental study demonstrated that the wear rate of tool was related to the adhesive strength between abrasive particle and work. Any change of the adhesive strength may significantly alter the wear rate of tool. An analytical study was done to examine the role played by the adhesive strength at the interfaces of abrasive particle on the wear rates of tool and work. It was derived from the law of force equilibrium and the principle of minimum potential energy. Tool wear was affected for polishing process by altering adhesive strength. The computer simulations indicated that an enhancement of adhesion between abrasive particle and work would always increase the wear rate at tool while the wear rate of work could be increased or decreased. To prove analytical study was reasonable by experimental study. Finally,the possible causes of observed phenomena and the limitations of the study were discussed.
