AbstractThere has been a great advance in the grinding process by the development of dressing, lubri-refrigeration and other methods. Nevertheless, all of these advances were gained only for continuous cutting; in other words, the ground workpiece profile remains unchanged. Hence, it becomes necessary to study grinding process using intermittent cutting (grooved workpiece – discontinuous cutting), as little or no knowledge and studies have been developed for this purpose, since there is nothing found in formal literature, except for grooved grinding wheels. During the grinding process, heat generated in the cutting zone is extremely high. Therefore, plenty of cutting fluids are essential to cool not only the workpiece but also the grinding wheel, improving the grinding process. In this paper, grinding trials were performed using a conventional aluminum oxide grinding wheel, testing samples made of AISI 4340 steel quenched and tempered with 2, 6, and 12 grooves. The cylindrical plunge grinding was performed by rotating the workpiece on the grinding wheel. This plunge movement was made at three different speeds. From the obtained results, it can be observed that roughness tended to increase for testing sample with the same number of grooves, as rotation speed increased. Roundness error also tended to increase as the speed rotation process got higher for testing the sample with the same number of grooves. Grinding wheel wear enhanced as rotation speed and number of grooves increased. Power consumed by the grinding machine was inversely proportional to the number of grooves. Subsuperficial microhardness had no significant change. Micrographs reveal an optimal machining operation as there was no significant damage on the machined surface.

In this article, a study on intermittent surface grinding using aluminum oxide grinding wheel with ceramic binder is presented. The testing material is 20XH3A steel (GOST standard – Russian Federation). The testing sample has been sawn 6 grooves, with the width of each groove of 10 mm, the grooves are evenly distributed on the circumference of sample. The testing sample resembles a splined shaft. An experimental matrix of nine experiments has been built by Taguchi method, in which abrasive grain size, workpiece speed, feed rate and depth of cut were selected as input variables. At each experiment, surface roughness (Ra) and roundness error (RE) have been measured. Experimental results show that the aluminum oxide and ceramic binder grinding wheels are perfectly suitable for grinding intermittent surface of 20XH3A steel. Data Envelopment Analysis based Ranking (DEAR) method has been used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. The results also showed that in order to simultaneously ensure minimum surface roughness and RE, abrasive grain size is 80 mesh, workpiece speed is 910 rpm, feed rate is 0.05 mm/rev and depth of cut is 0.01 mm. If evaluating the grinding process through two criteria including surface roughness and RE, depth of cut is the parameter having the greatest effect on the grinding process, followed by the influence of feed rate, workpiece speed, and abrasive grain is the parameter having the least effect on the grinding process. In addition, the effect of each input parameter on each output parameter has also been analyzed, and orientations for further works have also been recommended in this article

The RPM-Synchronous Grinding process offers new possibilities to generate defined macro- and micro-geometries on workpieces. With present technology, various macroscopic non-circular geometries must be grinded subsequently in an oscillating process where the X-axis is coupled with the rotary workpiece-spindle axis. Such workpieces can be machined in an ordinary plunge grinding process by implementing the approach of RPM-Synchronous Non-Circular Grinding. Therefore, the workpiece and the grinding wheel rotational rates are in a fixed ratio. A non-circular grinding wheel is used to transfer its geometry onto the workpiece. The authors use a unique machine tool for basic research and control concept development for RPM-Synchronous Grinding (RSG). The machine was especially designed for this RSG technology. Highest revolution rates on the workpiece spindle are mandatory for its success. The grinding approach is performed in a two-step process. For roughing, a highly porous vitrified bonded grinding wheel with medium grain size is used. It ensures high specific material removal rates for producing the non-circular geometry on the workpiece efficiently. A control algorithm adapts this process step, which uses acquired data from a piezoelectric three-component force sensor fixed at the tailstock-side of the grinding machine. For finishing, a grinding wheel with fine grain size is suited. This process step is tuned by a digital process adaption strategy. Roughing and finishing are performed consecutively among the same clamping of the workpiece with two locally separated grinding spindles. With the presented control and adaption concepts for RPM-Synchronous Grinding, a significant increase in surface quality on the workpiece is attained. The minimization of grinding wheel wear results concurrently. Especially the automotive industry shows big interest in RPM-Synchronous Non-Circular Grinding. This emerging trend in finishing machining opens up various fields of application.

Passive grinding is a new rail grinding strategy. In this work, the influence of grinding pressure on the removal behaviors of rail material in passive grinding was investigated by using a self-designed passive grinding simulator. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of the rail and grinding wheel were observed, and the grinding force and temperature were measured during the experiment. Results show that the increase of grinding pressure leads to the rise of rail removal rate, i.e., grinding efficiency, surface roughness, residual stress, grinding force and grinding temperature. Inversely, the enhancement of grinding pressure and grinding force will reduce the grinding ratio, which indicates that service life of grinding wheel decreases. The debris presents dissimilar morphology under different grinding pressure, which reflects the distinction in grinding process. Therefore, for rail passive grinding, the appropriate grinding pressure should be selected to balance the grinding quality and the use of grinding wheel.

This paper investigates the grinding process on unreinforced (PA66) and reinforced glass-fiber polyamide 6,6 (PA66 GF30) with Al2O3 and SiC abrasive wheels. Both materials were ground by varying rotations, workpiece infeed speed, depth of cuts for sequential roughing/finishing steps. Dry and liquid coolant conditions were also considered during the grinding process to evaluate the effects on part quality. The surface roughness was used to assess the quality of the final products with several parameter combinations, identifying the induced process trends. The results show that at the end of the finishing step, the surface roughness Rz was lower than 4 μm, attaining the lowest value of 1.34 μm for PA66 specimens. The analysis also suggested the choice of the Al2O3 grinding wheel to reach the lowest Rz values for both materials.

Si Wafer

For the backgrinding of semiconductor devices, a rotary grinding process is indispensable for achieving the required wafer thickness. The relative velocity between the grinding wheel and the wafer is maximum at the periphery of the wafer and minimum at the center of wafer. Generally, the grinding performances are discussed in terms of the ratio of the rotational speeds of the grinding wheel and the wafer. However, it is not possible to use this ratio to determine the grinding conditions for different wafer sizes grinding as this ratio does not show the difference in relative velocity. Therefore, a new relative velocity ratio was defined in this study. Then, the Si wafer grinding was performed to investigate the effect of the surface roughness and the power consumption of the grinding wheel spindle on the relative velocity ratio.

The experimental runs are planned depending on Taguchi’s L27(37) array and conducted in a cylindrical grinding machine (Toyoda G32 cylindrical grinding machine). The surface roughness of the machined specimens is measured using a calibrated surface roughness tester. A prediction model is created through regression analysis for the outcome. The significance of the selected grinding factors and their levels on surface roughness is found by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and F-test and finally. An affirmation test is directed to produce the ideal components.
