The present article deals with the surface topography during high speed grinding of particulate reinforced titanium matrix composites (PTMCs). Scanning electron microscopic images of the ground surface was analyzed. Combining the results presented in this paper, the following results could be summarized: (1) The reinforcing particles of PTMCs are removed by means of voids, pulled-out, fracture or crushed, and micro-cracks, which attributed to the plowing and shearing during high speed grinding. (2) The formation of the fracture pattern of PTMCs is formed due to the wear debris of the abrasion during high speed grinding.

Particulate reinforced titanium matrix composites (PTMCs) are attracting increasingly attention in various engineering applications. In this paper, comparative grinding experiments of PTMCs were carried out using WA abrasive wheel and CBN abrasive wheel. The morphology of the ground surface was observed by scanning electron microscope. The main results are summarized as follows: (1) The damage of reinforcements in the PTMCs results from the plowing and shearing during grinding in the form of crater, micron gap, broken, coating and micron crack. (2) The formation of grinding chip is a function of the collaborate removal of reinforcements and matrix material. (3) The surface fracture pattern of PTMCs using WA wheel is to form the grinding chip through severe extrusion. While using CBN wheel, the abrasion due to the formation of the wear debris is the main surface fracture pattern of PTMCs.

This paper deals with the grinding performances of SiCp/Al composites with higher volume fraction and larger SiC particle. The effects of the grinding parameters on the grinding force, removal mechanisms of SiC particles have been investigated. The grinding tests were carried out by using diamond wheel on surface grinding machine. The results indicate that the feed speed of worktable has more significant effect on the grinding forces than that of grinding depth. The scanning electron microscopic images of the machined surfaces indicate that the material removal of SiC particles was primarily due to the failure of the interface between the reinforcement and matrix, and resulting from microcracks along the interface and many fracture or crushed SiC particles on the ground surface.

There are strong demands for a machining process capable of reducing the surface roughness of sliding parts, such as auto parts and other components, with high efficiency. In this work, we attempted to grind hardened steel to a mirror-like surface finish with high efficiency using an ultra-high speed grinding process. In the present study, we examined the effects of the work speed and the grinding wheel grain size in an effort to optimize the grinding conditions for accomplishing mirror-like surface grinding with high efficiency. The results showed that increasing the work speed, while keeping grinding efficiency constant, was effective in reducing the work affected layer and that the grinding force of a #200 CBN wheel was lower than that of a #80 CBN wheel. Based on these results, a high-efficiency grinding step with optimized grinding conditions was selected that achieved excellent ground surface quality with a mirror-like finish.

High-speed grinding experiment of titanium matrix composites is carried out with cubic boron nitride (CBN) superabrasive wheels in this work. The heat transfer into the titanium matrix composites (TMCs) is discussed based on theoretical analysis. A calculation method of thermal ratio passing into the workpiece is represented. Results obtained show that high-speed grinding of PTMCs using vitrified CBN wheel has a greater thermal ratio passing into the workpiece than using electroplated CBN wheel. Moreover, a linear relationship is established between es and ds1/4ap-3/4vw-1/2.

The grinding process requires a high energy expenditure per unit volume of material removed. The high temperature generated in abrasive processes is the main factor responsible for thermal damage to a ground surface. An investigation was undertaken to explore the temperature characteristics in high speed grinding (HSG) of silicon carbide (SiC) with a vitrified diamond wheel. A grindable thermocouople technique including a NI-DAQ device will be used to measure the grinding temperature. This paper will discuss the temperature characteristics in high speed grinding of SiC in detail and give an experiment-based temperature distribution model for SiC. A molecular dynamics simulation will be used to illustrate the effect of a high loading rate on SiC material’s mechanical property, which will further elaborate its unique HSG temperature characteristics. The experimental investigation will provide more practical application support in utilizing HSG technology in a high quality ceramic grinding.
