Ceramic Response to High Speed Grinding

Material response was investigated with respect to normal grinding forces, surface roughness, and removal mechanisms in grinding of alumina, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and zircona with a resin-bond 160 μm grit diamond wheel at the grinding speeds of upto 160 m/s. The results reveal that the normal grinding forces decreased significantly with an increase in grinding speed; they also increased substantially with an increase in a complex relation of the ceramic hardness and toughness. High speed grinding produced a reduction in surface roughness for silicon carbide and alumina but gave no improvement for zirconia and silicon nitride. Also the surface roughness in high speed grinding was found to be material-dependent that the ground silicon nitride exhibited much smoother than the other ground ceramics. The influence of grinding speed on material removal mechanisms was analyzed in terms of grinding geometry and ceramic material properties.     

Study on the grinding behavior of laser-structured grinding in silicon nitride ceramic

Silicon nitride ceramics are extremely difficult and time-consuming to be machined with conventional methods, such as turning and grinding. Laser-assisted machining has been a field of extensive research during the past decade, as it is a promising solution to enhance the machinability of many difficult-to-cut materials, including silicon nitride ceramics. To enhance the processing precision of silicon nitride ceramic grinding, in this work, a method of laser structuring the surface of silicon nitride is proposed. The laser process allows to precisely control the dimensions of the generated features. Therefore, different patterns with equal silicon nitride surface area are produced in order to study the influence of the pattern geometry on the grinding behavior of the silicon nitride. Grinding performance of the structured silicon nitride is tested. The influences of grinding parameters, such as wheel speed and feed rate, are analyzed for their effects on the grinding force, surface roughness. It is found that the procedure of laser-structured silicon nitride has a strong influence on the grinding results. The grooves obtained by laser-structured silicon nitride are favorable for the flow of coolant, and the cracks generated inside the grooves weak the material locally. The laser-structured silicon nitride generally allows for a reduction of grinding forces by up to 63%, and it can effectively reduce the wear of the tool.

磨削速度对碳化硅陶瓷磨削损伤影响机制研究

碳化硅陶瓷高速磨削过程中,磨粒对工件材料强力冲击,应变率剧增、复杂显微结构对应力波传送响应转变,材料力学行为发生变化,目前高速磨削对材料去除机制影响的物理本质认识还不清楚。为此,开展磨削速度对SiC陶瓷磨削裂纹损伤影响机制研究。通过单颗磨粒磨削SiC陶瓷试验,分析了磨削速度对SiC陶瓷磨削表面形貌、磨削亚表面裂纹损伤深度、磨削力和磨削比能的影响规律。试验结果表明,当SiC陶瓷材料以脆性方式去除时,磨削速度对裂纹损伤影响最为显著,随着磨削速度从20 m/s增加到160 m/s,磨削亚表面裂纹损伤深度从12.1μm快速降低到6μm。采用Voronoi法建立了金刚石磨削多晶SiC陶瓷有限元仿真模型,当磨粒切厚为0.3μm,磨削亚表面损伤以微裂纹为主;当磨粒切厚为1μm时,随着磨削速度增加,磨削亚表面裂纹损伤深度从14.7μm降低到4.6μm,磨削亚表面宏观沿晶裂纹逐渐变为微观裂纹。基于位错理论和冲击动力学理论,揭示了高速磨削过程中位错密度的增加和晶界反射应力波对应力场削弱作用是高速磨削SiC陶瓷裂纹损伤“趋肤效应”产生的机理。

Experimental study on fabrication and evaluation of micro pyramid-structured silicon surface using a V-tip of diamond grinding wheel

A mechanical fabrication of micro pyramid-structured silicon surface is proposed using crossed grooving with a 60° V-tip of diamond grinding wheel. It can obtain high form-accuracy, good surface quality and efficient productivity in contrast to laser machining and etching, and also assure a high aspect ratio in contrast to other mechanical processes. In order to describe its micro-structured topography, a white-light interferometer was employed, and its measured point cloud was matched using an Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. In micro grinding, a novel CNC mutual-wear truing was first developed to sharpen the wheel V-tip; then, the effects of microscopic wheel topography, silicon crystal-orientation and grinding parameter were investigated on ground micro-topography, truing ratio and material removal ratio; finally, its form-accuracy, pyramid top radius, groove tip radius, surface roughness and aspect ratio were evaluated. It is shown that better microscopic grain protrusion topography on wheel V-tip produces much larger material removal ratio and much better micro-structured topography in micro grinding, but it leads to much less truing ratio in finer GC truing. In micro grinding, silicon crystal-orientation has little effect on micro-structured topography due to diamond crystal-orientations that are randomly distributed on wheel V-tip. Although the micro pyramid-structured form error is only about 3.4 μm, its V-groove bottom and pyramidal top have very large form errors (23.1-47.9 μm) due to the sharpness of wheel V-tip and the frangibility of micro pyramid top. On increasing feed speed, its pyramid top radius decreases and its groove tip radius slightly increases, ultimately leading to an increase in aspect ratio, whereas its surface quality descends. It is concluded that the micro-pyramid arrays may be precisely patterned on silicon surface using a SD600 wheel with crossed tool paths, on-machine V-tip truing and the depth of cut in 1 μm.

Effect of parameters on grinding forces and energy while grinding Al (A356)/SiC composites

Abstract

Grinding processes require a high energy input per unit volume of material removed, which is converted to heat at the grinding zone, resulting in increased force and wear. In the present study, the influence of grinding parameters like work speed and depth of cut on grinding forces and energy was studied. An attempt has been made to study the forces and energy involved while grinding aluminium alloy (A356)/silicon carbide (SiC) composite material with different grinding wheels. Experiments were carried out on a surface grinding machine. Three different types of wheels like SiC, cubic boron nitride (CBN) and diamond wheels were used. The grinding forces increased with increase in depth of cut and work speed. SiC exhibited high grinding force compared to the CBN wheel. In the case of the diamond wheel, it was even less. The specific grinding energy was highest for the diamond wheel followed by CBN and SiC wheels. The specific grinding energy decreased with increase in depth of cut and work speed.

A study on the surface grinding of 2D C/SiC composites

This paper aims at studying the machinability of 2D C/SiC composite with 0°/90° woven carbon fibers using a resin bond diamond grinding wheel. The effects of grinding parameters on the grinding force, force ratio, specific grinding energy, surface topography, surface roughness, and grinding chips were investigated. And the grinding mechanism of the 2D C/SiC composite was discussed by analyzing the chip components and material removal characteristics. The results indicate that the grinding force and surface roughness increase with the increase of feeding speed and depth of cut, while decrease with the increase of wheel speed. The force ratio F _n /F _t and the specific grinding energy of 2D C/SiC composite were lower than those of conventional ceramics under the defined experimental conditions. Additionally, the grinding chips were composed of carbon powder, carbon fiber fragments, and SiC matrix debris. It can be deduced that the dominant removal mechanism of the 2D C/SiC composite was brittle fracture mode during grinding process.     

SYSTEMS APPROACH FOR THE CERAMIC THRU-FEED CENTERLESS GRINDING

An approach for simulation and production implementation of thru-feed centerless grinding of transformation toughened zirconia using vitreous bond diamond grinding wheels is presented. A set of grinding tests was designed and conducted to identify the effects of abrasive product (diamond grit size), work-material, and operational factors (stock removal, thru-feed rate, number of thru-feed passes and truing and dressing methods) on grinding performance. Evaluation parameters of surface finish, grinding forces and C-ratio were utilized to determine machine tool features. Very fine surface finishes, in the order of 0.05 to 0.1 u.m R_a range, could be achieved using vitreous bond micro-grit diamond wheels, without additional part processing. Such a level of surface finish on ground ceramics has traditionally been generated only by using resinoid bonded diamond wheels. These test results were used to design and manufacture a full-size composite or sandwiched diamond grinding wheel. This grinding wheel has been successfully applied in high-volume ceramic production, which in turn has verified the proposed approach. Lastly, the surface finish data is interpreted based on SEM and AFM observations and materials properties.     

A comparison between conventional speed grinding and super-high speed grinding of (TiCp + TiBw) / Ti–6Al–4V composites using vitrified CBN wheel

Comparative grinding experiments of (TiC_p?+?TiB_w)?/?Ti–6Al–4V composites were conducted using vitrified CBN wheel at the conventional wheel speed of 20 m/s and the super-high wheel speed of 120 m/s, respectively. The grinding behavior, i.e., grinding force and force ratio, grinding temperature, specific grinding energy, and ground surface morphology were analyzed. The results obtained indicate that the normal and tangential grinding forces at the super-high wheel speed are smaller than that at the conventional wheel speed. However, the force ratio, the specific grinding energy, and the grinding temperature show a contradictory trend compared to the grinding force between the conventional speed grinding and the super-high speed grinding. The main defects of the ground surface of (TiC_p?+?TiB_w)?/?Ti–6Al–4V composites are voids, micro-cracks, fracture or crushed, pulled-out, and smearing.     

Study on high-speed grinding mechanisms for quality and process efficiency

This paper focuses on the mechanism of high-speed grinding to achieve quality and efficiency for ceramics. The criterion of the brittle–ductile removal transition of ceramics is calculated and analyzed. The effects of the wheel velocity on the specific grinding forces, energy, and specific material removal rates were investigated. The influence of the wheel velocity on the surface integrity was studied in the terms of surface roughness by a 3D optical profilometer, scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The ductile removal mechanism of brittle material was validated experimentally. High quality and efficiency of grinding for SiC can been attained with high-speed grinding due to the understanding of the characteristics and mechanism for ductile grinding of brittle materials with high-speed grinding. Furthermore, based on the high-performance grinding mechanism, reasonable definitions on high-speed grinding are proposed.

A piezoelectric-drive table and its application to micro-grinding of ceramic materials

A micro-positioning table with a 0.005 μm resolution has been developed to enhance the performance of a conventional grinding machine in the fine grinding of ceramics. A piezoelectric actuator with high stiffness and resolution has been applied to drive the table and to provide small depths of cut for the workpiece. The performance of the table is investigated with both open and closed-loop operation to drive the actuator. The accuracy and stiffness of the positioning are improved by means of the closed-loop control. Grinding experiments with ceramics, such as partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) and hot-pressed silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), were carried out to demonstrate the performance of the table. The actual resolution of depth-of-cut control was determined by measuring ground groove depths on the ceramic surface. A mirror-like surface on the ceramic was easily obtained by grinding at the small depth of cut of 0.1 μm with the aid of the table.

Effects of Abrasive Types on Grinding of Chopped Strand Mat Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Laminates

A grindability study of chopped strand mat glass fiber reinforced polymer laminates (CSM GFRP) has been carried out to evaluate the effects of abrasive types on grinding force ratio and area roughness at varying grinding parameters such as speed, feed and depth of cut. Performances of alumina (Al₂O₃) and cubic boron nitride (CBN) wheels were compared. Both wheels delivered the maximum grinding force ratios at low speed, high feed and low depth of cut. Alumina wheel produced smoother surface when grinding at low speed, low feed and high depth of cut. CBN wheel, on the other hand, gave smoother surface at high feed and low depth of cut conditions, regardless of speed. With CBN wheel, it is likely that a single grinding condition exists that maximizes grinding force ratio and minimizes area roughness. The findings indicate that CBN wheel exhibited higher grinding force ratio than alumina grinding wheel in general. CBN grinding wheel also outperformed alumina grinding wheel by producing smoother ground surface in most cases.
