Grinding Performance

An investigation is described of the effects of rotary dressing on grinding wheel performance. Grinding performance is evaluated mainly in terms of the grinding forces and surface finish. It is demonstrated that the magnitudes of the grinding forces can be attributed to differences in the size of the wear flat area obtained by the various rotary dressing conditions. For finer dresser infeeds and greater differences between the peripheral velocities of the dresser and the grinding wheel, bigger grinding forces and smoother surfaces are obtained. A direct relationship is obtained between the grinding performance and the dressing interference angle, a larger angle resulting in smaller grinding forces and rougher surfaces. This leads to a trade-off relationship between grinding forces and surface roughness which characterizes the rotary dressing process.

Abstract Laser assisted micro-grinding (LAMG) is an emerging area of research in the field of high-quality micro-job fabrication and performance improvement. Conventional micro grinding (CMG) by micro pencil grinding tool suffers drawbacks such as tool deflection, higher cutting force and poor surface finish. In the present work, authors have attempted to investigate the performance of LAMG and CMG in the fabrication of micro-channel on Titanium material. Surface of workpiece was structured with the help of air assisted nanosecond-pulsed fiber laser scanning prior to the CMG at the different values of laser power by keeping scanning velocity constant. During the study, the CMG forces were recorded and after the processes surface roughness of the fabricated microchannels was measured. Results have shown reduction in the magnitude of the normal and tangential force by 31 % and 44 %, respectively, in LAMG compared to the CMG. In addition to that better surface finish was observed in LAMG than CMG. The surface roughness of micro-channel and grinding forces were found to be dependent on the power density of laser. Increase in the laser power deteriorates the surface finish and reduces the magnitude of grinding forces. High grinding forces in the CMG led to the dynamic deflection of the grinding wheel which produced the vibration in the process. The excessive vibration in CMG processes exploited the surface finish of the micro-channel. Such vibration was not observed on the LAMG process; as a result, better dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the channel was found.

This paper deals with cutting ability of progressive Norton Quantum grinding wheel during grinding roll bearing steel 100Cr6 of hardness 61 HRC. Cutting ability of this wheel is compared with conventional grinding wheel and based on measurement of grinding forces as well as surface roughness. Results of experiments show that Norton Quantum grinding wheels are capable of long term grinding cycles at high removal rates without unacceptable occurrence of grinding chatter and surface burn whereas application of conventional wheel can produce excessive vibration and remarkable temper colouring of ground surface. Moreover, while Norton Quantum grinding wheel gives nearly constant grinding forces and surface roughness within ground length at higher removal rates, conventional grinding wheel (as that reported in this study) does not.

Removal Processes

Grinding, a technique for removing abrasive materials, is a chip-removal process that uses an individual abrasive grain as the cutting tool. Abrasive material removal processes can be very challenging owing to the high power requirements and the resulting high temperatures, especially at the workpiece-wheel interface. This paper presents a novel system that uses graphite particles impregnated in an aluminum oxide matrix to form a grinding wheel. This study specifically investigated grinding wheels with a graphite content of 0.5 wt%. The new grinding wheel was compared with conventional grinding wheels by comparing the factors of grinding performance, such as surface roughness, morphology, wheel wear ratio, grinding temperature, and grinding forces, when the wheels were used under two different coolant strategiesdry and with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) using pure water. This study found that there is a considerable improvement in the grinding performance using graphite-impregnated grinding wheels over the performance obtained using conventional grinding wheels. The use of 0.5 wt% graphite provided better surface roughness and topography, lower grinding temperature, and decreased force; in addition, wheel consumption was lower, resulting in extended wheel life.

Structuring of the grinding wheels is a promising method to reduce the forces involved in grinding, especially during dry grinding. In this paper, one of the methods of grinding wheel structuring is presented. The structuring process was modeled to find the corresponding dressing parameters for the desired structure dimensions. The cylindrical grinding operation with the structured wheels was simulated to produce a spiral free ground surface. Afterwards, the dry grinding experiments with the structured and non-structured wheels were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of the structured wheels. The results revealed that the grinding forces can be reduced by more than 50% when the grinding wheels are structured, while the surface roughness values increase by 80%.

Surface integrity has attracted the attention of researchers for improving the functional performance of engineering products. Improvement in surface finish, one of the important parameters in surface integrity, has been attempted by researchers through different processes. Grinding has been widely used for final machining of components requiring smooth surfaces coupled with precise tolerances. Proper selection of grinding wheel material and grade with grinding parameters can result in an improved surface finish and improved surface characteristics. The present work reports the study of the effect of grinding parameters on surface finish of EN8 steel. Experiments were performed on surface grinding and cylindrical grinding for optimization of grinding process parameters for improved surface finish. Grinding wheel speed, depth of cut, table feed, grinding wheel material and table travel speed for surface grinding operation, and work speed for cylindrical grinding operation were taken as the input parameters with four types of grinding wheels (Al 2 O 3 of grades K and L, and white alumina of grades J and K). The surface roughness was taken as an output parameter for experimentation. The grinding wheel material and grade have been observed to be the most significant variables for both cylindrical grinding and surface grinding. Surface roughness in the case of surface grinding is better compared to that of cylindrical grinding, which can be attributed to vibrations produced in the cylindrical grinding attachment. Surface roughness ( R a ) values of 0.757 µm in cylindrical grinding and 0.66 µm in surface grinding have been achieved.

An experimental investigation was conducted on grinding Ti-6Al-4V alloy with monolayer brazed CBN slotted wheels for detecting the performance of the newly developed tools. The results showed that the effects of grinding parameters on the grinding forces and surface roughness with the brazed wheels were similar to that obtained with conventional electroplated ones to a certain extent. However, due to some distinguished features of the brazed CBN tools, i.e., high grain protrusion, optimum grain distribution and especially high joining strength, grain premature pullout behavior that had often occurred for electroplated tools was not observed during grinding, which had significant influence on the CBN wheels with merely singer-layer grains.

In order to elevate the efficiency of the surface finish to reach the fast improvement of the surface roughness of the workpiece, so as to reduce the residual stress on the surface efficiently. The present study discusses the surface after traditional machining, of which the plane surface used a design of finish tool includes an electrode and a nonconductive grinding wheel to execute the synchronous process of grinding and electrochemical finishing. The electrode form and the machining process are obviously different from electrochemical grinding (ECG). In the experiment, the design electrode is used with continuous and pulsed direct current. The controlled factors include die material, and chemical composition and concentration of the electrolyte. The experimental parameters are flow rate of electrolytes, position of plate electrode, electrode thickness, electrode rotational speed, electrical current rating, feed rate of workpiece, and pulsed period. The experimental results show that the supply of current rating is near concern with the position and thickness of the plate electrode. The use of large electrolytic flow rate and thick electrode is advantageous to the finish effect. High rotational speed of finish tool produces better polishing. The finishing effect is better with longer off-time because discharge of polishing dregs becomes easier. Higher current rating with quicker workpiece feed rate effectively reaches the fast improvement of the surface roughness of the workpiece is recommend in current study.

Face Grinding

Ultrasonic assisted grinding experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of the ultrasonic vibration (UV) on the face grinding characteristics of nickel based superalloy of Rene77. In experiments, an electroplated cBN grinding wheel was ultrasonically vibrated dominantly along its axis. The experimental results indicated that the X-axis and Y-axis components of grinding forces with UV were smaller by 44.5% and 31.6%, respectively, than those without UV. The usual fractures and debris on the surface of workpiece disappeared and the work-surface roughness Ra was decreased by 42.3% once the UV was applied. The abrasion of the grinding wheel without UV is more serious than that with UV.

A monolayer brazed diamond grinding wheel was dressed 23 times with a plate wheel. The grinding forces were measured during the grinding experiments which carried out on SiC ceramics after each dressing interval. The surface roughness of SiC ceramics was also measured. In this study, the dullness of the grinding wheel during the dressing procedure is mainly discussed. The results showed that the surface roughness of SiC ceramics reduced a lot after dressing which means the dressed grinding wheel can meet the requirements of precision machining. On the premise of this, there was no obvious dullness occurred on the grits of the grinding wheel during dressing because new cutting edges had emerged.
