Grinding Operations

The application of cutting fluid in grinding operations is crucial to control temperature levels and prevent thermal damage to the workpiece. Water-based (emulsions and solutions) coolants are used in grinding operations owing to their excellent cooling capability and relatively lower cost compared to neat oils. However, the cutting fluid efficiency is not only dependent on its type, but also on other parameters including its concentration and flow rate. In this context, this work aims to analyze the influence of the coolant concentration and flow rate on the grinding process. Two different workpiece materials for the production of plastic injection moulds were machined: VP80 and VPATLAS steel grades. Six grinding conditions (combinations of depth of cut values of 5, 15, and 25 μm with coolant concentration of 3% and 8%, respectively) were employed in the former, while two grinding conditions were used for the latter. The output parameter used to assess the influence of coolant concentration and flow rate on the grinding operation focused on the integrity of the workpiece materials (surface roughness and microhardness below the ground surface). The results showed that the surface integrity of VP80 after grinding was more sensitive to depth of cut than to cutting fluid concentration. Furthermore, the highest coolant concentration outperformed the lowest one when grinding under more severe conditions. With regard VPATLAS steel, no influence of the coolant flow rate on surface roughness was observed.

The Relationship

Roughness is important criterion of ground surface. When the surface roughness is demanded to be smooth, it is required to make the grinding conditions optimum. To optimize the grinding conditions, relationship between grinding conditions and ground surface roughness must be known. Therefore, it has been attempted to reveal the effect of grinding conditions on the roughness of ground surface over the years. From previous researches, it becomes possible to estimate the ground surface roughness with statistical grinding theory. However, there are some parameters, such as wheel depth of cut and distribution of abrasive grain, are not factored in the theory. In this paper, fundamental research on cross sectional profile is carried out to consider the relationship between the wheel depth of cut and ground surface roughness.

Grinding processes are mainly technique employed widely as a finishing process in a variety of materials, such as metals, hardness and brittleness and ductile materials machining to achieve good dimensional and form accuracy of the product with acceptable surface integrity. However, grinding is associated with high specific energy requirements which may be an order higher than that required in other conventional machining processes such as turning, planning, milling etc. Therefore, in grinding process, high grinding zone temperature may lead to thermal damage to the work surface, induces micro-cracks and tensile residual stresses at the ground surfaces, which deteriorate surface quality and integrality of the ground surface. Therefore, grinding fluids are applied in different forms to control such high temperature, but they are ineffective, especially under high speed grinding conditions where the energy of the fluid is not sufficient to penetrate the boundary layer of air surrounding the wheel. Moreover, the conventional flood supply system demands more resources for operation, maintenance, and disposal, and results in higher environmental and health problems. Therefore, there are critical needs to reduce the use of cutting fluid in grinding process, and cryogenic cooling grinding is a promising solution. The work presented in this paper aims at evaluating the grind ability and surface integrity of the nickel base super alloy resulting from the application of cryogenic cooling.

The use of cutting fluid is crucial in the grinding process due to the elevated heat generated during the process which typically flows to the workpiece and can adversely affect its integrity. Considering the conventional technique for cutting fluid application in grinding (flood), its efficiency is related to certain factors such as the type of fluid, nozzle geometry/positioning, flow rate and coolant concentration. Another parameter, one which is usually neglected, is the cutting fluid temperature. Since the heat exchange between the cutting fluid and workpiece increases with the temperature difference, controlling the cutting fluid temperature before its application could improve its cooling capability. In this context, this work aimed to analyze the surface integrity of bearing steel (hardened SAE 52100 steel) after grinding with an Al2O3 grinding wheel with the cutting fluid delivered via flood technique at different temperatures: 5 °C, 10 °C, 15 °C as well as room temperature (28 ± 1 °C). The surface integrity of the workpiece was analyzed in terms of surface roughness (Ra parameter), images of the ground surface, and the microhardness and microstructure beneath the machined surface. The results show that the surface roughness values reduced with the cutting fluid temperature. Furthermore, the application of a cutting fluid at low temperatures enabled the minimization of thermal damages regarding visible grinding burns, hardness variation, and microstructure changes.

AbstractThis paper presents the influence of cutting parameters (Depth of cut, feed rate, spindle speed and cutting fluid flow rate) on the surface roughness and flank wear of physical vapor deposition (PVD) Cathodic arc evaporation coated TiAlN tungsten carbide cutting tool insert during CNC turning of AISI 1015 mild steel. Analysis of Variance has been applied to determine the critical influence of cutting parameters. Taguchi orthogonal test design has been employed to optimize the process parameters affecting surface roughness and tool wear. Depth of cut was found to be the most dominant factor contributing to high surface roughness (67.5%) of the inserts. However, cutting speed, feed rate and flow rate of cutting fluid showed minimal contribution to surface roughness. On the other hand, cutting speed (45.6%) and flow rate of cutting fluid (23%) were the dominant factors influencing tool wear. The optimum cutting conditions for desired surface roughness constitutes the following parameters such as medium cutting speed, low feed rate, low depth of cut and high cutting fluid flow rate. Minimal tool wear was achieved for the following process parameters such as low cutting speed, low feed rate, medium depth of cut and high cutting fluid flow rate.

This research studied the influence of cutting fluids and cutting parameters on the surface roughness for stainless steel worked by turning machine in dry and wet cutting cases. The work was done with different cutting speeds, and feed rates with a fixed depth of cutting. During the machining process, heat was generated and effects of higher surface roughness of work material. In this study, the effects of some cutting fluids, and dry cutting on surface roughness have been examined in turning of AISI316 stainless steel material. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) instead of other soluble oils has been used and compared to dry machining processes. Experiments have been performed at four cutting speeds (60, 95, 155, 240) m/min, feed rates (0.065, 0.08, 0.096, 0.114) mm/rev. and constant depth of cut (0.5) mm. The amount of decrease in Ra after the used suggested mixture arrived at (0.21µm), while Ra exceeded (1µm) in case of soluble oils This means the suggested mixture gave the best results of lubricating properties than other cases.

During cylindrical grinding process, the geometric configuration and size of the edge contact area between the grinding wheel and workpiece have the heavy effects on the workpiece surface integrity. In consideration of the differences between the point grinding and the conventional high speed cylindrical grinding, the geometric and mathematic models of the edge contact area in point grinding were established. Based on the models, the numerical simulation for the edge contact area was performed. By means of the point grinding experiment, the effect mechanism of the edge contact area on the ground surface integrity was investigated. These will offer the applied theoretic foundations for optimizing the point grinding angles, depth of cut, wheel and workpiece speed, geometrical configuration and size of CBN wheel and some other grinding parameters in point grinding process.

AbstractThis paper presents the application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) coupled with Teaching Learning Based Optimization Technique (TLBO) for optimizing surface integrity of thin cantilever type Inconel 718 workpiece in ball end milling. The machining and tool related parameters like spindle speed, milling feed, axial depth of cut and tool path orientation are optimized with considerations of multiple response like deflection, surface roughness, and micro hardness of plate. Mathematical relationship between process parameters and deflection, surface roughness and microhardness are found out by using response surface methodology. It is observed that after optimizing the process that at the spindle speed of 2,000 rpm, feed 0.05 mm/tooth/rev, plate thickness of 5.5 mm and 15° workpiece inclination with horizontal tool path gives favorable surface integrity.

This paper details experimental results when turning Ti-6Al-4V using water-miscible vegetable oil-based cutting fluid. The effects of coolant concentration and working conditions on tool flank wear and tool life were evaluated. L27 fractional factorial Taguchi array was employed. Tool wear (VBB) ranged between 28.8 and 110 µm. The study concluded that a combination of VOs based cutting fluid concentration (10%), low cutting speed (58 m/min), feed rate (0.1mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.75mm) is necessary to minimise VBB. Additionally, it is noted that tool wear was significantly affected by cutting speeds. ANOVA results showed that the cutting fluid concentration is statistically insignificant on tool flank wear. A notable increase in tool life (TL) was recorded when a lower cutting speed was used.

Purpose Sustainable machining is a global consensus and the necessity to cope up the serious environmental threats. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and nanofluids-based MQL(NFMQL) are state-of-the-art sustainable lubrication modes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of process parameters, such as feed rate, depth of cut and cutting fluid flow rate, on temperature and surface roughness of the manufactured pieces during face milling of the AISI D2 steel. Design/methodology/approach A statistical technique called response surface methodology with Box–Behnken Design was used to design experimental runs, and empirical modeling was presented. Analysis of variance was carried out to evaluate the model’s accuracy and the validation of the applied technique. Findings A comprehensive analysis revealed the superiority of implementing NFMQL in comparison to MQL within the levels of process parameters. The comparison has shown a significant reduction of temperature under NFMQL at the tool-workpiece interface from 16.2 to 34.5 per cent and surface roughness from 11.3 to 12 per cent. Practical implications This research is useful for practitioners to predict the responses in workshop and select appropriate cutting parameters. Moreover, this research will be helpful to reduce the resource which will ultimately save energy consumption and cost. Originality/value To cope with the industrial challenges and tribological issues associated with the milling of AISI D2 steel, experiments were conducted in a distinct machining mode with innovative cooling/lubrication. Until now, few studies have addressed the key lubrication effects of Al2O3-based nanofluid on the machinability of D2 steel under NFMQL lubrication condition.
