Monolayer brazed diamond wheel were used to grind AlSiC composite with different volume fraction of SiC. The effects of diamond mesh size of the grinding wheels and the volume fraction of SiC in AlSiC composite on the surface integrity of ground AlSiC composite were investigated. It is found that the surface roughness of ground AlSiC composite with 20% SiC is increased with the reduction of diamond grit’s size because of the clogging of diamond wheel. With the increasing of the volume fraction of SiC, there are more fractured and cracked SiC particles on the ground surface of AlSiC composite. On the other hand, the finer diamond grits (70/80) induce the finer fractured SiC particles on the ground surface of AlSiC with 50% and 70% SiC.

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.

This paper deals with cutting ability of progressive Norton Quantum grinding wheel during grinding roll bearing steel 100Cr6 of hardness 61 HRC. Cutting ability of this wheel is compared with conventional grinding wheel and based on measurement of grinding forces as well as surface roughness. Results of experiments show that Norton Quantum grinding wheels are capable of long term grinding cycles at high removal rates without unacceptable occurrence of grinding chatter and surface burn whereas application of conventional wheel can produce excessive vibration and remarkable temper colouring of ground surface. Moreover, while Norton Quantum grinding wheel gives nearly constant grinding forces and surface roughness within ground length at higher removal rates, conventional grinding wheel (as that reported in this study) does not.

This paper aims to evaluate the surface and sub-surface integrity of optical glasses which were correspondingly machined by coarse and fine-grained diamond grinding wheels on Tetraform ‘C’ and Nanotech 500FG. The experimental results show that coarse-grained diamond grinding wheels are capable of ductile grinding of optical glasses with high surface and sub-surface integrity. The surface roughness values are all in nanometer scale and the sub-surface damages are around several micros in depth, which is comparative to those machined by fine-grained diamond wheels.

Nowadays, precision manufacturing industries are required faster surface inspection tools for the achievement of high productivity. In this context, the Barkhausen noise (BN) technique is adopted as a quick response technique in the grinding for qualitative evaluation of surface integrity of AISI D2 tool steel. Present work investigates the effect of eco-friendly coolant, i.e., cryogenic, on surface integrity of ground sample in the plunge grinding mode at different downfeed and compared with dry and wet environments. Surface integrity was assessed in respect of surface roughness, microstructure, and microhardness. Magnetic response of ground surface was reported by Barkhausen noise analyzer in the form of root mean square (rms), peak, and number of pulses. From the outcomes, it was perceived that no significant variations were found in the microstructure and microhardness of the ground surface and subsurface after cryo-grinding owing to lower thermo-mechanical loading. Besides, lower surface roughness was obtained in the case of cryo-grinding because of thermal softening effect. A linear correlation between BN input parameters, i.e., magnetic field intensity and BN responses at different magnetizing frequency could be achieved. Finally, better BN responses, including higher rms, peak, and number of pulses, were found under the cryogenic environment.

To enhance the precision and productivity of ultra precision aspheric surface micro lens, the development of ultra-precision grinding system and process for the aspheric surface micro lens are described. In this paper, an ultra-precision grinding system for manufacturing the aspheric surface micro lens was developed by considering the factors affecting the grinding surface roughness and profile accuracy. This paper deals with the mirror grinding of an aspheric surface micro lens by resin bonded diamond wheel and with the spherical lens of BK7. The optimization of grinding conditions with respect to ground surface roughness and profiles accuracy is investigated by design of experiments.

Structuring of the grinding wheels is a promising method to reduce the forces involved in grinding, especially during dry grinding. In this paper, one of the methods of grinding wheel structuring is presented. The structuring process was modeled to find the corresponding dressing parameters for the desired structure dimensions. The cylindrical grinding operation with the structured wheels was simulated to produce a spiral free ground surface. Afterwards, the dry grinding experiments with the structured and non-structured wheels were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of the structured wheels. The results revealed that the grinding forces can be reduced by more than 50% when the grinding wheels are structured, while the surface roughness values increase by 80%.

Abstract In order to improve the surface grinding quality of high volume fraction aluminum matrix composites, the cutting tool models with different rake angles are established, the grinding process is simulated, and the material removal mechanism and the broken state of SiC particles are obtained. Through single factor experiment, the 60% volume fraction SiCp/Al2024 composites are ground by diamond grinding rod with 3mm diameter, the surface roughness (Ra) is measured, and the surface and sub-surface quality of SiCp/Al2024 composites with meso-scale grinding is investigated. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of grinding depth (ap) on surface quality is put forward, and the influence of different grinding depth on the fragmentation of SiC particles in sub-surface layer is discussed, which verifies the correctness of grinding simulation. The relevant research and theoretical model are of great significance to the study of grinding properties of composite materials.

The application of cutting fluid in grinding operations is crucial to control temperature levels and prevent thermal damage to the workpiece. Water-based (emulsions and solutions) coolants are used in grinding operations owing to their excellent cooling capability and relatively lower cost compared to neat oils. However, the cutting fluid efficiency is not only dependent on its type, but also on other parameters including its concentration and flow rate. In this context, this work aims to analyze the influence of the coolant concentration and flow rate on the grinding process. Two different workpiece materials for the production of plastic injection moulds were machined: VP80 and VPATLAS steel grades. Six grinding conditions (combinations of depth of cut values of 5, 15, and 25 μm with coolant concentration of 3% and 8%, respectively) were employed in the former, while two grinding conditions were used for the latter. The output parameter used to assess the influence of coolant concentration and flow rate on the grinding operation focused on the integrity of the workpiece materials (surface roughness and microhardness below the ground surface). The results showed that the surface integrity of VP80 after grinding was more sensitive to depth of cut than to cutting fluid concentration. Furthermore, the highest coolant concentration outperformed the lowest one when grinding under more severe conditions. With regard VPATLAS steel, no influence of the coolant flow rate on surface roughness was observed.

SiCp/Al composites have been used in a number of engineering applications including the consumer goods. However, the machining of these materials is very difficult because of the abrasive characteristics of the reinforced particulates. In this paper drilling studies on SiCp/Al composites with high volume fraction and large size SiC particles have been conducted by using electroplating diamond drills, and the influences of the cutting speed on the drilling force and surface roughness were investigated.
