Machining of the roots and shrouds of turbine blades is normally performed by continuous dress creep feed grinding. In this process, the grinding wheel is continuously dressed during the grinding operation, maintaining constant grinding forces and form accuracy. However, continuous-dressing has incurred higher wheel usage. In the tests described in this paper, creep feed grinding of nickel-base alloys was initially performed by continuous dressing to determine the burn barrier and the optimum dresser infeed rate. Pulse dressing, whereby the wheel is kept sharp by a series of dressing pulses, was then applied throughout the grinding cycle in such a way that the grinding forces were kept below the burn barrier. It was shown that wheel usage was reduced by a factor of two with the pulse dressing method. The effect of different grinding coolants under continuous and pulse dressing conditions is also discussed.

Introducing the grinding mechanism of axial creep-feed grinding ceramics with a single diamond grain. Establishing the simulation model of a single grain grinding engineering ceramics by axial creep-feed grinding and analyzing the simulation results of the grinding force in the X,Y,Z axis. Finally, the impacts of the wheel speed, axial feed rate and workpiece speed upon grinding forces were discussed by simulating the single diamond abrasive grinding process under different grinding conditions.

An experimental study was performed to analyze the feasibility of heat pipe cooling in creep feed grinding applications. A new type of grinding wheel is developed to enhance the heat transfer of the grinding contact zone then decrease the grinding temperature. The performance of the new type grinding wheel was evaluated by measuring the grinding temperature when it was creep feed grinding the Ti-6Al-4V Alloy and the experimental results were compared with an ordinary grinding wheel. Results of the comparative study indicated that the use of enhanced cooling technology in a grinding wheel can decrease the grinding temperature significantly thus avoid the surface burning in grinding.

In this paper, grinding forces of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V are measured during creep feed grinding with brazed cubic boron nitride (CBN) wheels. The effects of process parameters on grinding force, force ratio and specific grinding energy are investigated in detail. The grinding force is low and force ratio is about 1.5, and the specific grinding energy of titanium alloys Ti-6Al-4V is about 65J/mm3. Also, CBN wheels brazed with composite filler of Ag-Cu-Ti and 0.5wt.% lanthanum show better grinding performance than the counterpart brazed with Ag-Cu-Ti filler in this investigation.

The plastic deformation and brittle fracture damage remained within a certain depth of the abrasive surface of ceramic materials during axial creep feed grinding process, which included much information about damage mechanism and removal mechanism of ceramic materials. The surface morphology analysis showed that the brittle fracture was the main removal mode of grinding surface in addition to some micro-cracks in the affected layer, and cracks were not found in the matrix. Compared with general grinding, only the surface deterioration layer is thicker than general grinding surface, and there is no obvious damage to the workpiece

Creep feed grinding can obtain an excellent grinding performance for its creep feed with high depth of cutting. However the large contact length and large feed result in large amount of heat accumulating in working zone and cause burn on workpiece surface. A series of grinding tests are performed to obtain burn variation with grinding parameters using different grinding wheel and workpiece in this paper. Grinding energy is also recorded and used to evaluate the influence of grinding parameter on burn.

Technology of NC-contour evolution ultrasonic assisted creep feed grinding (NC-CEUACFG) blade surface was put forward to solve the difficult problem of machining ceramic blade surface. The static load on the grinding wheel and the influence of the rigidity of the grinding wheel on the surface precision were studied combined with the movement analysis between the blade and grinding wheel in the process of NC-CEUACFG ceramic blade surface, and the physical model of static load may explain the decrease of grinding force and increase of the relative rigidity of the grinding wheel in NC-CEUACFG in theory. The primary experiment of NC-CEUACFG blade surface was carried out according to the experimental results of previous optimized process parameters, and the integral impeller was machined directly in the blank material of Al2O3 ceramic, which indicated the application prospect of such technology.

Single abrasive-grain cutting is the key research point in grinding process. Because of the narrow space and quick velocity, modeling and simulation method is an approach way to study the single grain cutting. This paper studied the distribution of flow stress and plastic strain, the temperature field near cutting grain. Then experiment was conducted to measure the cutting forces in single grain cutting test. The validation shows good correctness and accuracy of FEA model. Then orthogonal simulation test was carried out to research the influence factors for the grinding forces and temperature distribution. It is found that creep feed grinding has a large grinding forces than high speed grinding in the grain scales. But the maximum temperature value is affected both by depth and speed distinctly.
