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.

This paper presents a new empirical model of the dressing process in grinding which is then incorporated into a 3D metal removal computer simulator to numerically predict the ground surface of a workpiece as well as the dressed surface of the grinding wheel. The proposed model superimposes a ductile cutting dressing model with a grain fracture model to numerically generate the resulting grinding wheel topography and workpiece surface. Grinding experiments were carried out using “fine”, “medium” and “coarse” dressing conditions to validate both the predicted wheel topography as well as the workpiece surface finish. For the grinding conditions used in this research, it was observed that the proposed dressing model is able to accurately predict the resulting workpiece surface finish for all dressing conditions tested. Furthermore, similar trends were observed between the predicted and experimentally-measured grinding wheel topographies when plotting the cutting edge density, average cutting edge width and average cutting edge spacing as a function of depth for all dressing conditions tested.

The future development of the manufacturing is using VR technology to make the machining simulation before the actual machining process made. The machining simulation of Ultra High-speed Grinding Machine Tool is researched in this paper. Firstly, using UG/NX software and VRML, the geometric modeling of machine tool is modeled. Secondly, through using Java and Javascript language, the operation and display of machining process of ultra high-speed grinding are realized. The main technologies include NC codes compiling, collision detection and material removal. Thirdly, the example of machining simulation using virtual ultra high-speed grinding machine tool can be obtained in the paper. Compared to other CNC machining simulation methods, the method in the paper has reality display, rich features, a good man-machine interaction, etc., and it does not rely on expensive CAD/CAM software. The system files generated by the machining simulation have the small size and can be transferred on the network easily.

A series of grinding experiments were carried out with CBN wheel to focus on the surface integrity of titanium alloy TC4-DT in high speed grinding . In order to get the proper process parameters to control the surface integrity of the TC4-DT, surface roughness, subsurface morphology and microhardness variations have been studied. In addition to the use of CBN wheel, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3-d contour instrument and microhardness tester was applied. The results show that the surface roughness is decreased obviously when grinding wheel linear velocity rises from 60m/s to 80m/s. While the grinding speed rises from 80m/s to 100m/s, the surface roughness value increases slightly. Moreover, the surface roughness value increases with the grinding depth and the increasing trend is obvious in the process of machining. The microstructure analysis shows that during high speed grinding with CBN wheels, good quality surface with 10μm grinding depth can be obtained. Table feed rate has weak influence on the grinding surface topography. The microhardness analysis indicates that surface microhardness increases sharply with the increasing of grinding wheel linear velocity in high speed grinding.

The fundamental experiment of the grinding of the stainless steel using the metal bonded CBN wheel which was excellent in wear resistance was conducted. The most appropriate grinding conditions were obtained by clarifying wear process of grinding wheel and finished ground surface quality. When grinding was carried out up to stock removal 7000mm3/mm, radial wear of grinding wheel %R is 3μm and surface roughness Rz was 0.5μm or less. The grinding ratio Gr becomes about 3000, and long life grinding with little change of surface roughness was possible.

In order to reconcile the contradiction between the ceramic grinding efficiency and surface integrity, high-speed grinding with diamond grinding wheel is supposed to be a solution. In this paper, first of all, a normal grinding force model is proposed based on the consideration of the material property and the grinding process parameters. It can be seen that an elevated grinding wheel velocity in combination of a higher workpiece speed can increase the machining rate while maintaining the desired surface integrity. After a series of grinding tests, a comprehensive measurement has been done to study the surface damage by the surface roughness, the microscope profile and the X-ray diffraction. In particular, the effect of the grinding parameters on the ground surface are analyzed and reported.
