Wear of diamond grinding wheel in ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding of silicon carbide

In order to investigate the influence of dressing methods on grinding temperature, two kinds of diamond grinding wheels dressed by traditional dressing(TD) and elliptic ultrasonic vibration dressing(ED) respectively were used to grind the same nano-ceramic material. Through grinding experiments, the comparative analysis of the grinding temperature was conducted. The results show that diamond grinding wheel dressed by elliptical ultrasonic vibration method can decrease the grinding temperature.

In this paper, topography feature of the diamond grinding wheel under the diamond stylus elliptical ultrasonic vibration assisted dressing was studied experimentally. The results indicate that: the increase in dressing power of elliptical ultrasonic vibration will result in the increase in amplitude, and that can increase abrasive protrusion height of the dressing grinding wheel, and also increase the depth of chip pocket. With the increase of feed rate, surface peak and valley values of elliptical ultrasonic vibration dressing grinding wheel increase, that is the average protrusion height of abrasive grain increases. With the increase of dressing depth, surface peak and valley values of elliptical ultrasonic vibration dressing grinding wheel increases, while the number of static effective abrasive grain reduces. In comparison with the ordinary dressing grinding wheel, elliptical ultrasonic assisted dressing in the same parameters can bring about more static effective abrasive grain , more uniform abrasive distribution, a higher abrasive protrusion height and more chip space.

Wheel Loading

Advanced ceramic materials like sintered and presintered zirconia are frequently used in biomedical applications, where minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) assisted grinding is required to achieve a good surface finish instead of conventional flood coolant. However, insufficient cooling and wheel clogging are the major problems that exist in the MQL grinding process, which depends upon the type of work piece material and the grinding wheel being used. The present study is to determine the performance of the grinding wheels on presintered zirconia under MQL conditions in terms of grinding forces, specific energy, surface integrity, and wheel wear. Experiments are conducted with two different types of grinding wheels as silicon carbide (SiC) and diamond grinding wheels under the same condition. The results indicated that the diamond wheel provided a better surface finish and reduced tangential force under MQL condition, compared to the conventional SIC wheel. This was due to the reduction of wheel loading in the diamond grinding wheel. The specific energy of diamond grinding wheel was reduced with higher material removal rate compared to the conventional SiC wheel. The ground surfaces generated by the diamond grinding wheel showed fine grinding marks with better surface finish. The percentage of G-ratio calculated for the diamond wheel was higher than the SiC wheel by 77%. This was due to the sliding of the grains and less wheel loading in the diamond wheel. The cost difference between the corresponding wheels was discussed to improve the productivity of the grinding process.

A 3D profiler based on scanning white light interferometry with a lateral sampling interval of 0.11μm was introduced to measure the surface topography of a #3000 diamond grinding wheel, and a large sampling area could be achieved by its stitching capability without compromising its lateral or vertical resolution. The protrusion height distribution of diamond grains and the static effective grain density of the grinding wheel were derived, and the wheel chatter and the deformation of the wheel were analyzed as well. The study shows that the grain protrusion height obeys an approximate normal distribution, the static effective grain density is much lower than the theoretical density, and only a small number of diamond grains are effective in the grinding process with fine diamond grinding wheel. There exists waviness on the grinding wheel surface parallel with the wheel cutting direction. The cutting surface of the grinding wheel is not flat but umbilicate, which indicates that the elastic deformation at the wheel edges is much larger than in the center region.
