Mechanisms in the generation of grinding wheel topography by dressing

For the process of dressing vitrified bonded grinding wheels with diamond tools it has been unknown how the wheel topography is generated. Moreover, the influence of the kinematical dressing parameters on the wheel wear behavior has not been quantified. In the course of this article the grinding wheel was dealt with as a porous ceramic composite. In FEM simulations common dressing forces and usual dressing tool geometries were applied. The results were verified by dressing tests and grinding wheel scratch tests which show the wheel wear mechanisms. The common practice of decreasing the grinding wheel surface roughness by a finishing dressing stroke has to be reconsidered, because previous dressing strokes with higher depths of cut can weaken the grinding wheel structure and lead to an unsteady phase with high grinding wheel wear after dressing.

Influence of different grinding wheel and dressing roller specifications on grinding wheel wear

A targeted adjustment of the dressing results and the methodological influence of the dressing process on the non-stationary wear of a grinding wheel after dressing increases the productivity and the reproducibility of grinding processes. Despite the great economic importance of grinding processes with vitrified corundum grinding wheels and the great relevance of the dressing process for the application behavior of these grinding wheels, quantitative models are missing for the purposeful design of the dressing process. In previous studies, a dressing model was successfully developed which predicts the dressing force in the dressing process as well as the workpiece roughness and the grinding wheel wear behavior in a grinding process for a specific grinding wheel and form roller specification. However, a transferability of this model to other grinding wheel and form roller specifications is not possible because the influence of the grain size and the hardness of the grinding wheel as well as the dressing tool topography on the grinding wheel wear and thus on parameters of the dressing model are not known. The objective of this work was to extend the model to additional grinding wheel and form roller specifications to ensure a broad applicability of the model.

Form crush dressing of diamond grinding wheels

Form crush dressing is a method to profile diamond grinding wheels. Especially for complex profiles with intricate details and high accuracy an improved form crush profiling system has been developed. The system consists of a hydrostatically supported form crushing disc embedded in a swiveling axis. Form disc wear, which forms a major bottleneck in reaching high accuracy, has been minimized through the development of an advanced wheel synchronization control strategy. Various vitrified grinding wheels and a crushable metal bonded wheel have been tested to show the general applicability of the method to grinding wheels with brittle bond systems.     

A multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA) approach for optimization of surface grinding operations

A genetic algorithm (GA) based optimization procedure has been developed to optimize grinding conditions, viz. wheel speed, workpiece speed, depth of dressing and lead of dressing, using multi-objective function model with a weighted approach for surface grinding process. The procedure evaluates the production cost and production rate for the optimum grinding condition, subjected to constraints such as thermal damage, wheel wear parameters, machine tool stiffness and surface finish. New GA procedure is illustrated with an example and optimum results such as production cost, surface finish, metal removal rate are compared with quadratic programming techniques.     

An experimental investigation of dry-electrical discharge assisted truing and dressing of metal bonded diamond wheel

Metal-bonded diamond wheels have superior qualities such as high bond strength, long wheel life, wear-resistant ability and high grinding efficiency. But it is very difficult to true and dress diamond wheel because of its highest hardness. Traditional mechanical truing does not guarantee truing accuracy of diamond wheel because of single diamond dresser wears out very quickly. To reduce wear of diamond dresser and hence guarantee a desired wheel surface, a novel truing and dressing method, namely, dry electrical discharge (dry-ECD) assisted truing and dressing, is proposed and tested to achieve good dressing quality and efficiency. Because the diamond wheel is mounted on the MK9025 optical profile grinder, dielectric liquid is forbidden. The new dry-ECD dressing/truing method basically eliminates the use of dielectric liquid. Therefore, it is free from the serious problem of electrolytic corrosion caused by electrolytic current flowing through water encountered in conventional ECD. The FE analysis of temperature distribution in dry-ECD assisted truing and dressing diamond wheel using ANSYS is performed in this study. Temperature field simulation helps to select optimized parameters under certain conditions. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis was used to measure the composition of diamond wheel before and after dry-ECD assisted truing and dressing. Further, hard alloy grinding experimental results proves that a little variation in material composition of diamond wheel after dry-ECD assisted truing and dressing does not influence grinding result. A series of experiments of dry-ECD assisted truing and dressing of metal bonded diamond wheel are conducted to investigate truing efficiency, truing accuracy, dresser wear, dressed wheel profiles and three-dimensional truing/dressing forces in comparison with those of the conventional single diamond methods. Experimental results show that the new dry-ECD assisted truing and dressing technique offers a number of advantages over the conventional single-tip diamond dressing and truing method. Furthermore, mechanism of the dry-ECD assisted truing and dressing is investigated through the careful analysis of the properties of chips.     

Application potential of coarse-grained diamond grinding wheels for precision grinding of optical materials

Fine-grained resin bonded diamond tools are often used for ultra-precision machining of brittle materials to achieve optical surfaces. A well-known drawback is the high tool wear. Therefore, grinding processes need to be developed exhibiting less wear and higher profitability. Consequently, the presented work focuses on conditioning a mono-layered, coarse-grained diamond grinding wheel with a spherical profile and an average grain size of 301 µm by combining a thermo-chemical and a mechanical-abrasive dressing technique. This processing leads to a run-out error of the grinding wheel in a low-micrometer range. Additionally, the thermo-chemical dressing leads to flattened grains, which supports the generation of hydrostatic pressure in the cutting zone and enables ductile-mode grinding of hard and brittle materials. After dressing, the application characteristics of coarse-grained diamond grinding wheels were examined by grinding optical glasses, fused silica and glass–ceramics in two different kinematics, plunge-cut surface grinding and cross grinding. For plunge-cut surface grinding, a critical depth of cut and surface roughness were determined and for cross-grinding experiments the subsurface damage was analyzed additionally. Finally, the identified parameters for ductile-machining with coarse-grained diamond grinding wheels were used for grinding a surface of 2000 mm² in glass–ceramics.     

Ultra precision grinding of spherical convex surfaces on combination brittle materials using resin and metal bond cup wheels

This paper reports on a parametric investigation on ultra precision grinding of combination materials of zirconia and silica. Rotational grinding was adopted for the generation of spherical convex surfaces using metal and resin bonded cup wheels. The wheels have grit sizes ranging from 4 to 20 μm. A simplified geometrical model was used to analyse the effects of wheel wear on ground dimensional accuracy. Besides, a new truing and dressing technique of the cup wheel using loose abrasives was introduced. This new truing and dressing technique enables the precision profile truing of cup wheels. With the well prepared cup wheel, high form accuracy (average PV 0.25 μm) with mirror/near-mirror surface finish for silica and zirconia was achieved.     

金属结合剂金刚石砂轮的修整研究(Ⅰ)——用立体照片对测量磨粒的突出高度及磨粒突出高度对磨削性能的影响

金属结合剂金刚石砂轮的磨粒突出高度极大地影响砂轮的磨削性能。磨粒突出高度大小容易导致砂轮堵塞从而使磨削力增大;磨粒突出高度太大则容易导致磨粒脱落从而使砂轮磨损加快。然而,迄今为止,精确测量磨粒突出高度的方法尚未见诸报道。本文提出了一种用立体照片对测量磨粒突出高度的方法,即所谓“3D法”,并对磨削Si_3N_4时,磨粒突出高度对砂轮磨削性能的影响进行了实验研究。砂轮的修整用杯形砂轮修整器完成。主要结论如下:(1)砂轮表面修整后,磨粒突出于金属结合剂基面,并且在磨粒后方存在一三角洲状结合剂残留物。磨粒突出高度分布近似为正态分布。(2)磨削力随磨削次数单调增加。(3)通过研究磨削力、工件表面粗糙度及砂轮磨损同磨粒突出高度的关系,对最佳磨粒突出高度进行了一些讨论。     

Analysis and simulation of the grinding process. Part IV: Effects of wheel wear

A method of simulating dressing and grinding was described in Parts I and II of this paper. In Part IV, the effects of wheel wear and wheel characteristics on grinding performance are simulated and compared with experimental results. The results show that grinding performance is strongly affected by dressing conditions immediately after dressing. As grinding continues, the grinding power, and also the surface roughness, tends to converge towards similar values for all dressing conditions when the same grinding conditions are employed. Results from the simulation show that the influence of wheel wear is affected by the wheel fracture characteristics. The convergence of the grinding behaviour shown in the simulation and experiments suggests that stable grinding performance in a wheel redress life cycle may be achieved by selecting dressing conditions, taking account of the grinding behaviour.     

Dressing process model for vitrified bonded grinding wheels

A holistic dressing process model for vitrified bonded grinding wheels was designed. It regards the dressing process as a tribological system subjected to a complex load collective. The intensive analysis of the input variables and their impact on the system function led to new knowledge about the acting mechanisms. The model enables a qualitative prognosis of the grinding wheel topography, the dressing forces and the thermal dressing process load.

Temperatures and wear mechanisms in dressing of vitrified bonded grinding wheels

For the first time dressing temperatures were measured directly in the contact zone of grinding and diamond dressing tool. With average temperatures of 400 °C and maximum temperatures of 810 °C without cooling lubricant, the need to cool the dressing tool sufficiently is affirmed. For a diamond dressing tile and form rollers in contact with vitrified bonded corundum and CBN wheels, the main grit wear mechanisms were adhesions instead of breakage or high volumetric splintering. Extensive analyses proved that components of the grinding wheel bonding and abrasives were molten during the dressing process and solidified amorphously. This verifies high peak surface pressures and flash temperatures.     

金属结合剂金刚石砂轮的修整研究(Ⅱ)——修整金属结合剂金刚石砂轮的机理

在上一篇文章中。笔者提出了一种新的测量磨粒突出高度的方法,并就磨粒突出高度同砂轮磨削性能的关系进行了研究。本文探讨了结合剂密实型金刚石砂轮的修整机理,着重讨论修整时磨粒周围结合剂的会除过程。证明了去除结合剂的机制是杯形砂轮上脱落下来的GC磨粒的研磨作用。主要结论如下:(1)修整时,GC磨粒从杯形砂轮上脱落并研磨结合剂,从而产生修整效果。因此,杯形砂轮修整器在对金属结合剂金刚石砂轮进行整形的同时,也对其进行修锐。(2)控制冷却液流量使GC砂轮表面附有一层游离磨粒,可以使修整比最高。(3)只要修整次数足够多,平均磨粒突出高度只取决于修整条件。(4)游离GC磨粒的尺寸越大,研磨作用越强,因此修整比越高,平均磨粉突出高度越大。     

超硬磨料砂轮不同介质中电火花修整试验研究

超硬磨料砂轮的电火花修整受到极间放电间隙的限制,采用传统的放电介质条件难以达到粗粒度砂轮的修整要求。为此,结合混粉放电加工机理,提出混粉介质中的电火花修整方法,进行压缩空气、去离子水雾和混粉去离子水雾3种介质及不同放电参数下的放电间隙对比试验研究,并开展金刚石砂轮修整和工件磨削试验。试验结果表明:混粉介质电火花修整的放电间隙最大,能提高粗粒度青铜结合剂金刚石砂轮的修整效率,同时优化砂轮修整后的表面形貌、磨粒突出状况和磨削性能。在开路电压为90 V、峰值电流为13.33 A及占空比为50%的最佳放电参数下,混粉介质的电火花修整效率与前2种介质相比可提高28.2%～50.0%;且加入的SiO₂粉末使砂轮表面的Si元素分布更均匀、含量更高,进而提高其耐磨性。      

Electrical discharge truing of metal-bonded CBN wheels using single-point electrode

Industrial application of superabrasive metallic-bond form-wheels is currently limited by problems arising when trying to recover geometrical accuracy after precision is lost due to wear. Literature shows this is a current field of research, and different configurations of the electrical discharge dressing process can be found. In this work an original method for form truing of metal bonded cubic boron nitride (CBN) form wheels is presented for the first time in literature. The method uses a single-point metallic electrode, thus eliminating the need for expensive form electrodes. A mathematical model was derived to predict electrode path and velocity. The model includes the effect of electrode wear. Experimental tests were carried out on a test bench, showing over 90% efficiency in the removal of material from the wheel surface. Wheel performance after truing was examined through grinding tests.
