As two kinds of advanced titanium alloys, TC18 and TA19 were introduced in this paper. The machinabilities of TC18 and TA19 alloys were described in the grinding process. Grinding experiments were completed using green silicon carbide grinding wheel with the coarser 100 grit. Grinding forces and specific energy in surface grinding were investigated. And then, for studying the grinding characteristic, SEM images of the workpiece material were obtained. The results indicated that specific chip formation had the great effect on the mechanism of grinding TC18 and TA19 alloys, and the scratch was the main characteristic of surface grinding. TC18 alloy had the poor grinding performance compared to TA19 alloy.

This article presents a new model of the flat surface grinding process vibration conditions. The study establishes a particular analysis and comparison between the influence of the normal and tangential components of grinding forces on the vibration conditions of the process. The bifurcation diagrams are used to examine the process vibration conditions for the depth of cut and the cutting speed as the bifurcation parameters. The workpiece is considered to be rigid and the grinding wheel is modeled as a nonlinear two-degrees-of-freedom mass-spring-damper oscillator. To verify the model, experiments are carried out to analyze in the frequency domain the normal and tangential dynamic grinding forces. The results of the process model simulation show that the vibration condition is more affected by the normal component than the tangential component of the grinding forces. The results of the tested experimental conditions indicate that the cutting speed of 30 m/s can permit grinding at the depth of cut up to 0.02 mm without sacrificing the process of vibration behavior.

The grinding process involves more variables than most of the other machining processes. In the past, grinding process has been viewed as an art more than an exact science. This paper presents a monitoring and model generation strategy developed to allow science-based optimization and control of the grinding process. The monitoring solution involves simultaneous acquisition of power, forces, acoustic emission and vibration data generated during surface grinding. A custom build data acquisition program helps capture the information and visualize the process condition. Dressing consistency and spindle condition are monitored through the same system. Part of the data is processed off-line to determine coefficient values for generalized equations that model main monitored parameters. An optimization relative to cycle time or cost can be conducted based on the results gathered for each combination of grinding wheel, workpiece material and metalworking fluid. The procedure requires a minimal number of experimental runs to determine the model coefficients. The solution opens the path towards the development of a model-based condition monitoring system with adaptive control.

The loading of the grinding wheel and adhesion of the workpiece material to the cutting edges of the grinding tool are among the main reasons which limit the process efficiency when grinding ductile materials. The micro topography of the grinding tool changes drastically as a result of loading. Higher grinding forces and temperatures, poorer surface quality and process accuracy are the consequences of the adhesion of the workpiece material to the grinding tool surface. A novel and promising technique to reduce the possibility of loading and adhesion in the grinding process is the infiltrating of the grinding tool. This study describes the results of infiltration of vitrified bonded conventional grinding wheels with graphite in the surface grinding process. The effects of infiltration have been studied for the first time on various grinding wheels with different grain materials, grit sizes, porosity and hardness. Two different types of steel which are very popular in the automobile industry, 100Cr6 and 16MnCr5, were chosen as the workpiece material by the surface grinding experiments. The selected cutting parameters cover a wide range of the practical surface grinding processes which are utilized generally in the industry. It has been experimentally shown that the type of infiltration plays an important role in reducing the loading of the wheel. Better surface quality and longer dressing intervals are the main results of the infiltration of the grinding tools.

In this paper, metal-bonded diamond wheels of different sized abrasive grain with different porosity were fabricated. Grinding experiments with these wheels on three kinds of materials were carried out under different grinding conditions. Experimental results revealed that wheel with high porosity (38%) had smaller grinding forces and specific energy than the one with a medium porosity (24%) on grinding G603. However, on grinding harder materials like Red granite or ceramics of Al2O3, the wheel with 38% porosity had bigger grinding forces and specific energy than the wheel with 24% porosity. Both wheels exhibited good self-sharpening capability during the grinding process of G603 and Red granite, but on grinding ceramics of Al2O3 the wheel with 38% porosity displayed in dull state during the grinding process . With the same porosity, the grinding forces of the wheel with a grain size of 230/270 US mesh were lower than the one with a grain size of W10 when grinding Red granite and ceramics of Al2O3. However revising results were obtained on grinding G603.

Grinding forces during grinding silicon wafer have great influences on the accuracy, surface quality and grinding yield of the wafer. It is necessary to develop an accurate and reliable grinding dynamometer for measuring and monitoring the grinding process of the large and thin wafer. In this work, a new 3D (three-dimensional) grinding dynamometer using piezoelectric sensors is designed and developed, which is used for a wafer grinder based on wafer rotating grinding method. The calibrating experiments of the 3D grinding dynamometer are carried out. The FEA and modal analysis are made and compared with the results of mode testing. Furthermore, the static performance parameters of the dynamometer are obtained from the loading experiment. The experiment results indicate that the 3D grinding dynamometer can measure axial, radial and tangential grinding force of grinding wheel with high sensitivity, good linearity, good repeatability and high natural frequency, and fully satisfied requirement for measuring and monitoring of the grinding force in wafer grinding process.

Grinding involves many randomly shaped and distributed abrasive grains removing material from a workpiece. Wheel wear results when these grains dull, fracture or break away. As a result, grinding forces are time-varying. In order to automate and optimize the grinding process an understanding of how forces are generated and change during grinding is critical to avoid workpiece damage, surface finish deterioration, cracking, excessive heat generation, and excessive residue stresses. This paper builds upon the existing grinding literature by studying the relationships between wheel wear and grinding forces for different depths of cut when surface grinding mild steel with an aluminum oxide wheel.

In surface grinding, the shape error is occurred by the thermal deformation of a ground workpiece. To finish the workpiece with high accuracy, it is necessary to understand the temperature distribution of the workpiece during grinding process. However there is no study to analyze the temperature distribution of a large workpiece during surface grinding process. In this study, an advanced simulation analysis method of the temperature distribution for a large workpiece was developed. In the developed simulation analysis method, the temperature distribution was calculated from the power consumption of the wheel motor. The power consumption can be obtained easily without any specialized equipment. To evaluate the developed simulation analysis method, in-process measurement of the temperature distribution of a large workpiece was also carried out. A large workpiece ground in this study weights about 1.3 tons. The temperature distribution was measured with thermistors mounted in many places of the ground workpiece. At the area close to the grinding surface, it was found that temperature rises immediately after the passage of grinding wheel with measuring the developed in-process measurement system. On the other hand, at the area far from the grinding point, temperature does not change quickly. The in-process measured temperature distribution agreed well with the simulated results.

The efficiency of the grinding process highly depends on the coolant lubricant used. In grinding with CBN grinding wheels grinding oils are used increasingly. In the last decade new grinding oils based on different oil types are brought into the market, whose effect on the CBN grinding wheels performance until now not sufficiently been investigated. The Institute of Grinding and Precision Technology (KSF) investigated the influence of four different grinding oils on the performance of vitrified CBN grinding while grinding of 100Cr6 (M.-No. 1.3505), which is a heat-treatable steel with a very good grindability, and Nimonic A80, which is a difficult to grind heat-resistance superalloy. The obtained results show that the performance of the vitrified CBN grinding wheels—while using grinding oil as coolant lubricant—regarding the quality of the work piece surface, the grinding forces as well as the wear of the grinding wheel, highly depend on the viscosity of the grinding oil. Moreover, the results show that the surface quality and the grinding forces while using different grinding oils depend significantly on the work piece material.

Based on the theory of grinding temperature field and the grinding forces obtained from the experiment, the heat flow during grinding of SiCp/Al composites was calculated. The temperature distributions have been simulated during grinding process in the case of diamond wheel and SiC wheel. The effects of grinding wheel, workpiece speed and grinding depth on the grinding temperature field were discussed. The results show that the grinding temperature with SiC wheel is much higher than that of diamond wheel in the same grinding condition, and the grinding temperature gradually decreases with the increasing of the workpiece speed or the decreasing of the grinding depth for both the diamond wheel and SiC wheel.

When grinding titanium alloys with a silicon carbide wheel, the coolant provides cut-free grinding, a decrease in the performance of the grinding process. The coolant has a significant effect on the ratio of the same components of the cutting force on the counter and passing passes of the table when grinding steels with a corundum wheel and titanium alloys with a silicon carbide wheel.
