Some observations on profile wear in creep-feed grinding

Tests were performed to investigate the effect of various parameters on the wear of a profiled grinding wheel when creep-feed grinding a nickel-base alloy. The wear of a number of different radii, angles and profile heights was monitored. It was found that this wear was strongly influenced by the total distance travelled by an individual grit while in contact with the workpiece and by the workpiece feed rate. In addition, using a neat oil grinding fluid resulted in less wear than a water-based fluid and a 120 grit wheel wore less than a 60–80 grit wheel. A simple theoretical model was developed for predicting the effect of stock removal rate on profile wear in the creep-feed grinding of a “difficult-to-grind” material and this gave good correlation with the experimental trends.     

Influence of wheel speed on surface finish and chip geometry in precision contour grinding

A geometric computer model of a precision grinding operation was developed to calculate the surface features generated during contour grinding with a radiused wheel. This simulation includes the influence of the wheel (rotational speed, diameter, and nose radius), the workpiece (radius at cutting point, rotational speed), and the feedrate of the grinding wheel over the part. The model indicates that small changes in the wheel speed relative to the workpiece can have a dramatic effect on the surface finish over a specific area. Analysis of ground surfaces reveals uniform surface profiles and easily distinguished features that could only be produced by a constant wheel speed. This occurs for an air-bearing, air-turbude grinding spindle that has limited torque and is driven under open-loop control. The effects of the relative speeds are analyzed and an energy-based “phase locking” mechanism is proposed that can provide feedback to the grinding spindle from the material removal operation. By monitoring the spindle speeds during the grinding process and evaluating the resulting surface features, the phase effect has been experimentally verified.     

Fabrication of small aspheric moulds using single point inclined axis grinding

Single point inclined axis grinding techniques, including the wheel setting, wheel–workpiece interference, error source determination and compensation approaches, were studied to fabricate small aspheric moulds of high profile accuracy. The interference of a cylindrical grinding wheel with the workpiece was analysed and the criteria for selection of wheel geometry for avoiding the interference was proposed. The grinding process was performed with compensation focused on two major error sources, wheel setting error and wheel wear. The grinding results showed that the compensation approach was efficient and the developed grinding process was capable to generate small aspheric concave surfaces on tungsten carbide material with a profile error of smaller than 200 nm in PV value after two to three compensation cycles.     

ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE DIAMOND GRINDING OF HIGH SPEED STEEL

A combination of two machining processes (i.e., a hybrid process) has a potential to improve process performance. This paper reports on experimental investigation of the electrical discharge diamond grinding process that combines mechanical grinding with electrical discharge machining. In this process, the workpiece is simultaneously subjected to heating, by electrical sparks bridging the gap between the metallic wheel bonding material and the work, and abrasion by diamond grains. The effect of current, voltage, pulse-on-time and duty factor on the grinding forces and the material removal rate while machining high speed steel workpiece, are investigated. The spark discharges facilitate grinding by thermally softening the work material in the grinding zone, and consequently decreasing the nromal force. It is observed that the material removal rate increases with an increase in current and pulse on-time, while it decreases with an increase in voltage and duty factor. These independent parameters are also found to significantly influence the grinding forces.     

In-process force measurement for diameter control in precision cylindrical grinding

This article shows the theory and implementation of a force measurement-based approach to controlling workpiece diameter in cylindrical grinding. A simple model proposed is used to relate infeed velocity to grinding force. The model is extended to accurately control the amount of material removed in outer diameter plunge grinding given the normal force, which may be monitored in real-time. The model incorporates the key parameters, including the structural loop stiffness, the plunge infeed velocity, and the wheel and workpiece properties. However, only the infeed velocity must be explicitly known. The contribution of this work is experimental validation that the lag between infeed and stock removal can be predicted using force feedback without a priori knowledge of the grinding system. This allows very accurate diameter control (0.25 μm of nominal), even in the presence of thermal drift, wheel wear, and machine error.

Reduced models of grinding wheel topography and material removal to simulate dynamical aspects in grinding

Increasing competition and short product life cycles make it necessary to optimize and evaluate the outcome of manufacturing processes. In tool grinding, models for the final workpiece geometry and cutting forces are of particular interest. To establish a valid general grinding model, we investigated the cutting process and the influence of local grinding wheel engagements on the material removal. We consequently developed models of material removal and grinding wheel topography, which capture the main correlations in grinding. In combination, temporal cutting forces and final workpiece geometry are predictable and are in excellent agreement with experimental data. The introduced models are valid for grinding in general, since they are solely based on the geometry and process parameters, and hence are applicable for manufacturing process optimization.     

NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF THE TEMPERATURE FIELD IN SURFACE GRINDING

Three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the temperature field in the contact zone due to the thermal loading of the workpiece in surface grinding. This technique considers that the thermophysical properties of the workpiece material are non-linear according to temperature, the contact zone between the wheel and the workpiece is assumed as an arc surface, and the heat flux entering the workpiece is assumed as proportional to the local undeformed chip thickness. A good agreement is found between the simulated results and the experimental observations. The high grinding temperature leads to the thermal expansion of the workpiece material, which causes the thickness of the actual material removal layer to be larger than the cutting depth. The grinding temperature at the central portion is higher than that on the side of the workpiece during the wet grinding, thus the material removal layer in the central zone is thicker than that on the side zone, and the workpiece surface is concave across the grinding width.     

Sensor elements made of conductive silicone rubber for passively compliant gripper

Grinding is regarded as a special multiple edge cutting process, in which the abrasive grains remove the workpiece material at the microlevel. The grain–workpiece interaction, which resembles the microcutting process, directly modifies the workpiece surface and dominates all the output measures of grinding process. Recently, a virtual single-layer cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel model is developed by simulating each wheel fabrication step, which makes the estimation of the single grain material removal mode possible in grinding. Therefore, the study of the grain–workpiece interaction through microcutting behavior on the abrasive grains becomes necessary for the quantitative investigation of grinding processes. In this paper, the influence of the grain orientation on the microcutting performance of CBN grains is studied through finite element method (FEM) simulation based on response surface methodology (RSM). The FEM simulation helps in both qualitative and quantitative understanding of microcutting process. And the RSM analysis is proved to be an effective tool for factorial analysis in this paper. The results indicate that the single grain microcutting force is sensitive to the grain wear condition and orientation status, and there exists preferable orientation condition for microcutting with abrasive grains to achieve minimum cutting force.     

Acoustic emission as an indicator of material-removal regime in glass micro-machining

Acoustic emission (AE) spectra were recorded during microgrinding of brittle materials. It was found that the specific AE energy (i.e., the measured AE energy divided by the material removal rate) was lower for fracture-dominated grinding than for plastic flow-dominated grinding. Two subsequent experiments were performed to measure AE energy while holding the material-removal rate constant. By controlling either the critical depth of cut (for ductile-brittle transition) of the workpiece material, or the actual depth of cut of the grinding machine, the sensitivity of AE energy to grinding regime was investigated for grinding with a constant material-removal rate. Contrary to conventional thinking about the relative contributions of plastic flow and fracture in generation of AE activity, it was found that the AE energy was larger in ductile-regime grinding than in brittle-regime grinding, for identical material removal rates. As a result of the experiments described in this paper, it can be concluded that AE energy measured during microgrinding is sensitive to changes in the mechanism of material removal. For a given volume of material removed, there is more AE energy in a plastic flow-dominated process than in a fracture-dominated process. The relationship found between AE energy and material removal regime could lead to an in-process sensing strategy for controlling grinding ductility.

Diamond face grinding of WC-Co composite with spark assistance: Experimental study and parameter optimization

Electro-discharge machining (EDM) characteristics of tungsten carbide-cobalt composite are accompanied by a number of problems such as the presence of resolidified layer, large tool wear rate and thermal cracks. Use of combination of conventional grinding and EDM (a new hybrid feature) has potential to overcome these problems. This article presents the face grinding of tungsten carbide-cobalt composite (WC-Co) with electrical spark discharge incorporated within face of wheel and flat surface of cylindrical workpiece. A face grinding setup for electro- discharge diamond grinding (EDDG) process is developed. The effect of input parameters such as wheel speed, current, pulse on-time and duty factor on output parameters such as material removal rate (MRR), wheel wear rate (WWR) and average surface roughness (ASR), are investigated. The present study shows that MRR increases with increase in current and wheel speed while it decreases with increase in pulse on-time for higher pulse on-time (above 100 μs). The most significant factor has been found as wheel speed affecting the robustness of electro- discharge diamond face grinding (EDDFG) process.     

Force Characteristics in Continuous Path Controlled Crankpin Grinding

Recent research on the grinding force involved in cylindrical plunge grinding has focused mainly on steady-state conditions.Unlike in conventional external cylindrical plunge grinding,the conditions between the grinding wheel and the crankpin change periodically in path controlled grinding because of the eccentricity of the crankpin and the constant rotational speed of the crankshaft.The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of various grinding conditions on the characteristics of the grinding force during continuous path controlled grinding.Path controlled plunge grinding is conducted at a constant rotational speed using a cubic boron nitride(CBN)wheel.The grinding force is determined by measuring the torque.The experimental results show that the force and torque vary sinusoidally during dry grinding and load grinding.The variations in the results reveal that the resultant grinding force and torque decrease with higher grinding speeds and increase with higher peripheral speeds of the pin and higher grinding depths.In path controlled grinding,unlike in conventional external cylindrical plunge grinding,the axial grinding force cannot be disregarded.The speeds and speed ratios of the workpiece and wheel are also analyzed,and the analysis results show that up-grinding and down-grinding occur during the grinding process.This paper proposes a method for describing the force behavior under varied process conditions during continuous path controlled grinding,which provides a beneficial reference for describing the material removal mechanism and for optimizing continuous controlled crankpin grinding.     

A NEW TECHNOLOGY ON ENHANCING HEAT TRANSFER AT GRINDING ZONE THROUGH JET IMPINGEMENT DURING CREEP FEED GRINDING

This paper presents a jet-impingement technology to enhance heat transfer at the grinding zone. The jet-impingement technology uses a new apparatus developed to spray grinding fluid onto the workpiece surface at the grinding zone from the radial holes of an electroplated CBN wheel. Because the fluid is sprayed normally on the workpiece surface at the grinding zone, the heat transfer to the fluid is significantly improved as compared to the conventional fluid delivery methods. Experimental results, obtained under both imitated grinding tests and actual creep-feed grinding of titanium alloys, show that the jet-impingement technology lowers grinding temperature significantly. Much higher material removal rates are possible with jet-impingement without workpiece burn.     

TEMPERATURE AND ENERGY PARTITION IN HIGH-SPEED GRINDING OF ALUMINA WITH A BRAZED DIAMOND WHEEL

An investigation is reported on the temperatures and energy partitions for high speed grinding of alumina with a brazed diamond wheel. The grinding temperature at the wheel-workpiece interface was measured using a pair of grindable foil thermocouples. The energy partition to the workpiece was evaluated by matching the analytical temperatures to the measured results. The influences of the grinding conditions, including wheel speed, the depth of cut, workpiece velocity, and material removal rate, on the temperatures and energy partitions were investigated. In all tests, the maximum grinding zone temperature rise was below 260°C. The energy partitions to the workpiece obtained under different grinding conditions varied from 30% to 75%. The calculated diamond tip temperature might be over 1000°C if the circular grain contact radius of contact was less than a critical value.     

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE FORCE DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE GRINDING CONTACT ZONE

This paper is concerned with the experimental investigations for the prediction of the grinding force distribution in the grinding wheel and workpiece contact zone. A new approach was developed to predict the force distribution using the horizontal and vertical forces measured while grinding a workpiece with a shorter length along the grinding pass. Straight surface grinding experiments were conducted using straight oil as grinding fluid on a nickel-based alloy (IN718) with a 60-grit 150 mm diameter electroplated CBN wheel to implement this approach and to investigate the effects of wheel speeds and workspeeds on the distributions. Grinding power and forces were measured. It was found that the distribution along contact arc increases with a decreasing rate from bottom to top. Wheel speeds have a significant effect on the normal force distribution at the higher removal rate. The grinding power was estimated to verify the predicted force distribution and it was found to be in a good agreement with the measured power.
