Beim Schleifen mehrphasiger Werkstoffe mit sprödhartem Charakter, beispielsweise Hartmetall, wurde ein Übergang von sprödhartem zu duktilem Werkstoffverhalten nachgewiesen. Der Fachartikel stellt eine neu entwickelte Methodik zur systematischen Analyse des Zerspanverhaltens – im Speziellen den Übergang von vorwiegend duktilem zu überwiegend sprödhartem Zerspanverhalten – für Hartmetalle vor.   In grinding of multi-phase, brittle materials, e. g. cemented carbides, a transition from predominantly brittle to predominantly ductile material behavior has been proven scientifically. This paper presents a newly developed methodology to analyze the material behavior of cemented carbides, in particular the transition from ductile to brittle material behavior.

In the literature, cemented carbides are described as hard and brittle materials. The material removal mechanisms in grinding of brittle materials, such as cemented carbides, significantly differ from the material removal mechanisms of ductile materials [1–3]. The material removal mechanisms in grinding of ductile materials are comparatively well investigated in comparison to the material removal mechanisms in grinding of brittle materials. In the existing literature, it has been shown that the material removal mechanisms in grinding of cemented carbides can be ductile or brittle. The present material removal mechanisms are dependent on the thermomechanical stress collective, which acts on the surface zone of the cemented carbides. In this paper, the material removal mechanisms in grinding of cemented carbides are discussed fundamentally. In order to analyze the occurring material removal mechanisms in grinding of cemented carbides, single grain cutting tests were carried out. Subsequent to the tests, the surface zone of the cemented carbide has been analyzed in detail. Therefore, scanning electron micrographs have been made to analyze the workpiece surface to identify the transition from predominantly ductile to predominantly brittle material behavior. Furthermore, focused ion beam (FIB) preparation, which has minimum invasive influence on the subsurface, was applied in order to get an insight into the surface zone. The FIB lamellae have been analyzed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to get a better understanding of the impact of material removal mechanisms on the surface zone. The drawn conclusions contribute to an improved process understanding in grinding of cemented carbides.

AbstractDiamond wire sawing has been developed to reduce the cutting loss when cutting silicon wafers from ingots. The surface of silicon solar cells must be flawless in order to achieve the highest possible efficiency. However, the surface is damaged during sawing. The extent of the damage depends primarily on the material removal mode. Under certain conditions, the generally brittle material can be machined in ductile mode, whereby considerably fewer cracks occur in the surface than with brittle material removal. In the presented paper, a numerical model is developed in order to support the optimisation of the machining process regarding the transition between ductile and brittle material removal. The simulations are performed with an GPU-accelerated in-house developed code using mesh-free methods which easily handle large deformations while classic methods like FEM would require intensive remeshing. The Johnson-Cook flow stress model is implemented and used to evaluate the applicability of a model for ductile material behaviour in the transition zone between ductile and brittle removal mode. The simulation results are compared with results obtained from single grain scratch experiments using a real, non-idealised grain geometry as present in the diamond wire sawing process.

AbstractThe results of penetration of a high-speed metal jet (with a velocity of 3–7 km/s) into brittle materials (ceramics and glass) have been analyzed. The data on jet destabilization as a result of the response of the brittle material to the high-speed penetration are presented. The generalized dependence of the high-speed jet absorption efficiency on the bending strength of the brittle material has been constructed in the hydrodynamic approximation.

Micro-structured surfaces on brittle materials, e.g. ceramic and glass, are gaining increasing application in a range of areas. In this paper, fast tool servo (FTS) diamond turning has been applied to machine micro-structured surfaces on brittle materials and the machined surfaces has been observed to study its machining mechanism. A machining model is presented to enable ductile-regime machining of the brittle material. Based on the model, machining characteristics can be predicted for given cutting conditions. Experimental investigation on machining of a micro-structured surface verified that ductile-regime machining can be ensured on the entire surface through path planning simulation based on the machining model.

ABSTRACTBy using the elastic singular field as a prescribed loading condition, small scale yielding solutions are obtained for a crack normal to the interface between a brittle and a ductile material. Results for both a crack in the brittle material and one in the ductile material are obtained by finite element analysis. The crack tip fields obtained by the finite element analysis are compared with the asymptotic solutions. It is found that near the tip the stress fields approach the asymptotic solutions. If the crack is in the brittle material, the high triaxial stresses are developed near the interface ahead of the crack tip.

A diversity of quasi-brittle materials can be observed in various engineering structures and natural objects (rocks, frozen soil, concrete, ceramics, bones, etc.). In order to predict the condition and safety of these objects, a large number of studies aimed at analyzing the strength of quasi-brittle materials has been conducted and presented in publications. However, at the modeling level, the problem of estimating the rate and acceleration of destruction of a quasi-brittle material under loading remains relevant. The purpose of the study was to substantiate the function of damage to a quasi-brittle material under uniaxial compression, determine the rate, acceleration and jerk of the damage process, and also to apply the results obtained to predicting the destruction of trabecular bone tissue. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the basic concepts of fracture mechanics and standard methods of mathematical modeling were used. The proposed model is based on the application of the previously obtained differentiable damage function without parameters. The results of the study are presented in the form of plots and analytical relations for computing the rate, acceleration and jerk of the damage process. Examples are given. The predicted peak of the combined effect of rate, acceleration and jerk of the damage process are found to be of practical interest as an additional criterion for destruction. The simulation results agree with the experimental data known from the available literature.

The abrasive waterjet machining is a powerful tool in processing various materials, especially, for brittle materials, such as ceramic, glass and so on. However, the material removal of a brittle material when impacted by abrasive waterjet is not understood in detail. In this paper, the material removal model in fracture erosion of brittle materials by abrasive waterjet has been developed.

AbstractIn this paper, we present numerical computational methods for solving the fracture problem in brittle and ductile materials with no prior knowledge of the topology of crack path. Moreover, these methods are capable of modeling the crack initiation. We perform numerical simulations of pieces of brittle material based on global approach and taken into account the thermal effect in crack propagation. On the other hand, we propose also a numerical method for solving the fracture problem in a ductile material based on elements deletion method and also using thermo-mechanical behavior and damage laws. In order to achieve the last purpose, we simulate the orthogonal cutting process.

Two methods are described of applying uniaxial and biaxial tensile and compressive stresses to specimens subject to the erosive action of repetitive water jets which have speeds in the range 30–220 m/s. The influence which prestress has on erosion is examined in a ductile material, α-brass, and in a brittle material, Perspex. The behaviour of these materials contrasts sharply due to their different fracture modes. Also the values of prestress to impact stress ratio and the type of stress applied, are shown to have a bearing on results.

Because of recent advances in precision engineering that allow controlled grinding infeed rates as small as several nanometers per grinding wheel revolution, it is possible to grind brittle materials so that the predominant material-removal mechanism is plastic-flow and not fracture. This process is known as ductile-regime grinding. When brittle materials are ground through a process of plastic deformation, surface finishes similar to those achieved in polishing or lapping are produced. Unlike polishing or lapping, however, grinding is a deterministic process, permitting finely controlled contour accuracy and complex shapes. In this paper, the development of a research apparatus capable of ductile-regime grinding is described. Furthermore, an analytical and experimental investigation of the infeed rates necessary for ductile-regime grinding of brittle materials is presented. Finally, a model is proposed, relating the grinding infeed rate necessary for ductile material-removal with the properties of the brittle workpiece material.
