The hobbing finish of hard gear teeth such as case-hardened gears is anticipated for practical use in high efficiency production. We studied wear and finished surface properties in cutting tests using a cubic boron nitride (cBN) hob cutter in high-speed cutting at 900 m/min of case-hardened steel. The cBN content in tip ingredients is related to wear, and tips high in cBN content are superior in wear resistance. The high thermal conductivity of cBN tips helps transfer cutting temperature heat to chips, melting and adhering them to the relief surface. Flaking may occur on the cutting edge but new chipping does not occur although chipping may exist after grinding. Finished surface roughness is influenced by horning on the cutting edge. Round horning leads to a smooth surface. High-speed finishing with cBN-tipped hobs is analyzed in view of cBN tip grinding and finished surface properties, in addition to wear properties.

Cubic boron nitride(CBN) is a superhard materials with many advantages and many uses. Vitrified bond CBN grinding tool is a promising abrasive tool of high performance used for high speed, high efficiency, high precision grinding with lower grinding cost and less environment pollution. Sintering of vitrified bond CBN grinding tool was investigated in this paper. The results showed that practical sintering temperature of this tool was much lower than the initial oxidation temperature of CBN particle measured by comprehensive thermal analysis. The upper limit of sintering temperature should be determined by taking account of the thermal analyzing results, heating process of CBN and its change in strength and structure. Within the sintering temperature range of the vitrified bond, relatively higher sintering temperature was beneficial to the strength of bond bridge and the holding strength between bond and CBN abrasive particles. CBN tool sintered at relatively lower temperature tended to fracture through the bond bridge, while the one sintered at higher temperature tended to fracture along the boundary between CBN abrasive grain and vitrified bond.

Wear characteristics of binder-less (single-phase) nanopolycrystalline diamond (NPD) and cubic boron nitride (BL-PcBN) were investigated by rubbing them against various ceramics such as SiO2, Si3N4, Al2O3 and SiC. The wear rates of NPD and BL-PcBN against SiO2 and Si3N4 at high speed rubbing (280-360 m/min) at a loading pressure of 55 MPa (starting condition) were considerably high, indicating the main wear process is a chemical reaction. BL-PcBN specimens were found to be worn at much higher (more than ten times) rates than NPD, suggesting that cBN highly reacts with these ceramics in comparison with diamond under the experiment condition.

In the paper the theory of cutting wood fiber on micron-level has been put forward, that is the cutting power of micron flake wood fiber is much smaller than the mechanical power consumed by grinding. Therefore, the manufacture method for micron flake wood fiber is a kind of way of materials preparation, which can economize energy, decrease in consumption and pollution. From the theoretical analysis, only a reasonable cutting-arrangement on direction can significantly reduce the power. So in the condition of reducing power, relying on pure shear to fracture fibers in tissue is the best effort, at the same time through the vertical ultra-high-speed cutting in grain, the micron filament fibers will be cut out. The influences produced by various factors for the formation of flake fibers have been verified through testing, including the improved tool material, the wood grain, the cutting speed and the improvements for locating specimen.Through the improved method for sluggish wood-fiber cutting, not only does this method reduce power consumption, but also decrease the probability of fiber cut off and substantial increase fiber’s length and quality. Moreover, after these flake fibers having been rescheduled, the elastic modulus of fiber MHFB hot pressed out can reach 5171Mpa, and the grip force of that can reach 1933N.

AbstractSafety of satellites as well as spacecrafts during space missions is a primary objective to preserve the physical and virtual assets onboard. Whipple shields belong to the class of protective equipment provided on the surface of the spacecrafts and satellites, to sustain impacts from the ultra-high speed debris, which can otherwise cause considerable damage to the corresponding structures. Recent works on whipple shields are focussed on determining the response of different geometrical arrangements and material properties under hyper-velocity impact at projectile speeds of 3-18 km/s. Advances in the whipple shield design include integrated and mechanised models employing high performance materials like fiber-metal laminates ensuring better operational capability. The forward bumper of the whipple shield is the first line of defence as it regulates the state of projectile after the primary impact. Use of aluminium alloys for front bumpers is popular, owing to their lightweight and strength characteristics. The advances for the front bumper have seen usage of ceramic, metallic foams, and super composite mixtures, which resulted in enhanced performance, durability and safety of the whipple shields. This work is a comprehensive coverage of the latest materials used for whipple shields, their performance characterization—both experimental and theoretical, and applications.

Polycristalline diamond composites (PDC) obtained by sintering of micro sized diamond particles together with silicon as binder is a conventional superhard material for high speed cutting tools. nanosized dispersed diamond particles have been recently used as precursor for a new generation of superhard composites. In the present work, PDCs were produced by sintering at high pressure and high temperature using a mixture of micro and nanosized diamond particles for optimized compactation. The values of density and hardness as well the results of X-ray diffraction suggest a plastic deformation of the larger diamond particles. The compression strength of these composites was found to be close to that of natural diamonds.

Cutting ceramics is a high-performance tool material for high-speed machining of hard steels and alloys. Ceramic materials have high hardness and heat resistance in a wide range of temperatures, as well as chemical passivity in relation to most of the workpieces. However, the wider application of ceramic cutting tools is limited due to the low reliability - unpredictable fragile fracture of the cutting edge in different periods of operation. The study discusses mathematical simulations of force parameters in the milling of hardened steels using ceramic cutting tools. The simulation results were used to develop a system for the metalworking technological system state diagnostics. Mathematical software for calculations of the set of force parameters through computer simulations with taking into account the tool wear has been developed. The developed system allows calculating and graphically displaying a set of force parameters appearing during face milling of hardened steels in the real-time.
