Grinding process is an energy intensive process in the sense that, it requires a larger amount of energy per unit of volume of material removal compared to other metal cutting processes. In this case, effects on the ground workpiece in terms of induced residual stresses and metallurgical changes due to heat generated play an important role on the lifetime of parts in their mechanism. In order to investigate effects on the workpiece during external cylindrical grinding process, a new analytical approach is firstly developed to model the action of the grinding wheel as a heat flux, which moves along the workpiece surface. The value and the shape of the heat flux entering the workpiece are directly identified. Based on the established model, numerical simulations are performed to predict temperature, cooling and its effects on residual stress distribution in the ground near surface.

Abstract The residual stresses could affect the ability of components to bear loading conditions and also the performance. The researchers considered workpiece surface as a plane and ignored the effect of surface topography induced by the intermittent cutting process when modeling residual stresses. The aim of this research develops an analytical model to predict workpiece residual stresses during intermittent machining by correlating the effect of surface topography. The relative motions of tool and workpiece are analyzed for modeling thermal-mechanical and surface topography. The influence of dynamic cutting force and thermal on different positions of surface topography is also considered in analytical model. Then the residual stresses model with the surface topography effect can be developed in intermittent cutting. The analytical models of dynamic cutting force, surface topography and residual stresses are verified by the experiments. The variation trend of evaluated values of the residual stress of workpiece is basically consistent with that of measured values. The compressive residual stress of workpiece surface in highest point of the surface topography are higher than that in the lowest point.

A conceptual framework is introduced for the design of tool surface topographies in bulk metal forming processes. The objective of the design is to control friction to desired levels while minimizing wear of the workpiece and tool surfaces and adhesive metal transfer between the workpiece and tool. Central to the design framework are the tool/workpiece interface properties of lubricant retention and interface permeability. Lubricant retention refers to the capacity of an interface to retain lubricant rather than freely channel it to the exterior of the tool/workpiece conjunction. Permeability refers to the capacity to distribute lubricant to all areas within the conjunction. These properties lead to the concept of two-scale surface topography consisting of a fine scale background of interconnected channels on which is superimposed an array of coarser-scale cavities. Control of friction and wear is achieved by designing the tool surface topographies at these two scales to address the unique tribological conditions of specific bulk metal forming processes. The coarser scale is designed to ensure adequate supply of lubricant within the conjunction. The finer scale is designed to ensure adequate delivery of lubricant to all parts of the conjunction where nascent workpiece surface is being formed. The design concepts are illustrated with results from laboratory experiments using the rolling process as an example, and comparing the performance of various roll surface topographies under similar processing conditions. A two-scale surface topography consisting of hemispherical cavities distributed across a background surface of finer scale, interconnected channels was shown to reduce friction compared to a single-scale ground finish, but not as much as a single-scale coarse topography consisting of densely-packed cavities produced by an electrical discharge treatment. On the other hand, the smoother cross-sections of the cavities, especially when elongated in the direction of greatest relative motion, produced significantly less wear than either of the single-scale tool surface treatments. It is concluded that two-scale engineering of tool surface topographies based upon the concepts of lubricant retention and interface permeability can provide a broad basis for achieving desired levels of interface friction while minimizing workpiece surface wear and adhesive material transfer in many metal-forming processes.

The vibration during external cylindrical grinding is caused by many factors such as the rigidity of the technology system, machining modes, machining materials, cooling mode, etc. This paper employed a Taguchi method to design experiments and evaluate the influence of machining mode parameters and workpiece material hardness on the vibrations when machining some types of alloy steel in external cylindrical grinding process. The influence of machining conditions on the vibrations was investigated. Besides, the mathematical models of vibration amplitudes were also modeled. The achieved results can be used to control the vibrations through machining conditions to improve the surface quality of the product.
