External Cylindrical Grinding

The localized wear on grinding wheel edges is a common phenomenon on profile grinding since the abrasive grains are less attached to the bond. The grinding wheel wear depends heavily on the process parameters, workpiece and wheel composition, causing changes on the process and profile deviation behaviors. In order to cope with these uncertainties, many natural and synthetic materials have been used in different grinding processes. However, the influence of mixed compositions of different types of abrasive grains on external cylindrical grinding is not well known. In order to assess this relation, a methodology procedure was developed providing an overview of the cinematic edges behavior on a progressive wheel wear. The methodology procedure is based on the acoustic emission technology, using a transducer with a 50 μm radius diamond tip. The tip, when in contact with a rotating grinding wheel, enables the evaluation of the cinematic cutting edges. The abrasive grain density was evaluated for different grinding wheel compositions and specific wear removal values. Furthermore, these results were compared to the profile deviation observed on the same tool, allowing the assessment of the influence of different microcrystalline corundum grains on the overall grinding wheel wear behavior.

The grinding wheel wear status is an important guarantee for the processing efficiency and processing quality of precision and super precision grinding. In this paper, a USB acoustic emission signal acquisition system is designed for online monitoring of grinding wheel status. In the system, CPLD is used as the controller, and a high-speed A/D converter is used to implement the synchronous acquisition of acoustic emission array signals. The collected data are sent into FIFO, and CY7C68013A is used for USB data transmission with upper computer. The sampling frequency of the system can be 10 MHz, and USB transmission speed can reach 40M/S. It is proved that it can meet the monitoring requirements of grinding wheel wear status well by the grinding processing.

Wear Condition

Acoustic emission (AE) signals can provide tool condition that is critical to effective process control. However, how to process the data and extract useful information are challenging tasks. This paper presented an intelligent grinding wheel wear monitoring system which was embedded in a surface grinding machine. An AE sensor was used to collect the grinding signals. The grinding wheel wear condition features were extracted by a proposed novel method based on statistics analysis of the average wavelet decomposition coefficient. The detailed signal characteristics during different wear condition are described. A BP neural network was used to classify the conditions of the grinding wheel wear. The inputs of the neural network were the three extracted features, and the outputs were three different states of grinding wheel condition, namely primary wear, intermediate wear and serious wear. The intelligent monitoring system was evaluated through grinding experiments. The results indicate that the effectiveness of the proposed method for extracting features of AE signals and developed intelligent grinding wheel wear monitoring system are satisfied.

Optimum utilization of grinding wheels can best be achieved if the nature of their performance and wear characteristics, and the factors that affect these characteristics, are understood and applied. As reported in this paper, a comprehensive, continuing, grinding-research program has contributed to such an understanding. A study of the nature of grinding-wheel wear indicates that the grinding-wheel wear curve is similar to those of other cutting tools. It demonstrates further that the type of grinding operation significantly affects the nature of wheel wear. A unique technique has been developed for very accurately measuring grinding-wheel wear. This measured wear may be translated into terms of “grinding ratio,” which is the generally accepted parameter for measuring wheel wear. It is the ratio of the volume of metal removed per unit volume of wheel worn away. Extensive studies have been carried out to determine the effect of mechanical variables on grinding ratio, power required in metal removal, and on surface finish. Experimental findings indicate that grinding ratio decreases with increased metal-removal rate and increases with workpiece diameter, decreased chip load, and increased concentration of grinding fluid. Power is found to increase with both the metal-removal rate and the amount of metal removed. It increases slightly with workpiece diameter and is affected little by work-material hardness. Surface finish is found to improve with decreased metal-removal rate and decreased chip load. It also is affected little by work diameter or work-material hardness. Fundamental research in the mechanics of wheel wear is supplying much additional information in the study of grinding-wheel wear. The measurement of grinding forces employing a cylindrical grinding dynamometer provides the opportunity for relating the wear of grinding wheels to the basic mechanics of the process through such fundamental quantities as grinding forces, specific energy, and grinding friction. Two additional experimental techniques for the study of chip formation in grinding have also proved to be most useful research tools. A “quick-stop” apparatus is used to freeze the grinding action by accelerating a tiny workpiece almost instantaneously to grinding-wheel speed. Another technique permits the comparison of the shape of the grinding grit and that of the contour of its path through the workpiece by a unique replicating method.

General Scale

During the grinding process the main role is played by the vibrating phenomena caused by primary imbalance of a wheel, features of its structure, and also the existence of a component arising in the general scale of vibrations and caused by the change of the structure of a working surface of a grinding wheel, wear of its working abrasive grains during the process. Intensity and amount of wear of the grinding wheel depends on conditions of grinding operation – kind of grinding, processed material, etc. In turn, the existence of close correlation connection between parameters of vibrations and modes of grinding allows to assume, that vibrating processes possess sufficient information and can form the basis for an assessment and forecast the perfection factor of a grinding wheel directly in operating conditions.

Cutting tools made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) are used for machining of aluminum alloys, fiber-reinforced plastic composites and wood. Compared to cemented carbide tools with geometrically defined cutting edges, PCD tools offer significant advantages with respect to tool life. High demands regarding the cutting edge roughness and the quality of the rake and the flank face usually require a grinding process with diamond grinding wheels. The PCD grinding process, however, is characterized by low material removal rates and high grinding wheel wear. The material removal rate and the grinding wheel wear, in turn, highly depend on the process state variables process force and process temperature. However, the relationship between these process state variables and the process input variables is largely unknown. This work provides a contribution to the closure of this knowledge gap by means of an adapted friction law. A single grain friction test stand using the pin-disk principle was developed, which enables a measurement of the friction force and the contact zone temperature for normal forces and relative speeds that are common in PCD grinding. During the experiments, the specification of the PCD disc, the cross-sectional area of the friction sample made of monocrystalline diamond as well as the process parameters normal force and relative speed were varied. In addition, the tests were carried out without lubrication as well as with a minimum lubrication. A high correlation between the contact force and the coefficient of friction was determined. This relationship was mathematically formulated in a friction law. In addition, a direct influence of the contact force and the relative velocity on the contact zone temperature was identified. The knowledge gained leads to an improved understanding of the PCD grinding process and thus enables a more efficient grinding process design.
