Wear of Diamond Abrasive Grain in Grinding Pure Iron

Fractal Analysis of Grain Cutting Edge Wear in Superabrasive Grinding

Abstract This paper deals with a fractal analysis of the wear behavior of the grain cutting edges in superabrasive grinding. Fundamental overcut fly grinding experiments for producing individual straight grooves using a grinding tool with multiple grits are carried out to clarify the wear characteristics of the grain cutting edges in the grinding process and then the change in three-dimensional...

WEAR RATE PREDICTION OF GRINDING MEDIA USING BPNN AND MLR MODELS IN GRINDING OF SULPHIDE ORES

Nowadays steel balls wear is a major problem in mineral processing industries and forms a significant part of the grinding cost. Different factors are effective on balls wear. It is needed to find models which are capable to estimate wear rate from these factors. In this paper a back propagation neural network (BPNN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) method have been used to predict wear rat...

Effect of Abrasive Size on Wear

Modelling Friction and Abrasive Wear of Elastomers

In order to properly model the friction and wear of elastomer materials, it is essential to understand some specific mechanical and tribological features. Mechanical characteristics of elastomer materials are different from those of metals and other relatively hard materials. Elastomers can bear large deformations, the stress-strain curves are non-linear, time and temperature dependent. When th...

Micro Cutting Simulation of Abrasive Grains in the Grinding Process

In the current work we present approach to study the mechanism of the cutting of abrasive grains in the grinding wheel using finite element analysis (FEA). The simulation process is done by separating two abrasive grains from the grinding wheels and the microprocess of material removal in the case of surface grinding is simulated. Modelling was done on the workpiece steel S-7 and material grain...
