To study the establishment of homochirality observed in the crystal growth experiment of chiral molecules from a solution under grinding, we extend the lattice gas model of crystal growth as follows. A lattice site can be occupied by a chiral molecule in R or S form, or can be empty. Molecules form homoclusters by nearest neighbor bonds. They change their chirality if they are isolated monomers...

The effect of ultraprecision grinding on microstructural change in silicon monocrystals, such as surface roughness and dislocation structure, was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The study found that there exists an additional concentration of oxygen and carbon in an amorphous layer for all investigated grinding regimes with their distributions dependent on the grinding varia...

The following article examines the influence of glass-crystalline bond in grinding wheels with grains made from microcrystalline aluminum oxide, and specifically its effect upon the values of selected operational indicators in the process of traverse internal cylindrical grinding of surfaces made from Inconel® alloy 600. The experimental test results obtained showed that changes in the bond pha...

The model of surface grinding with a nanoparticle jet flow of MQL was established. The surface grinding thermal stress of three workpiece materials, namely, 45 Steel, 2Cr13, and nano-ZrO2 dental ceramic, were numerically simulated. Results show that dry grinding generates larger tensile stress, whereas MQL grinding generates larger compressive stress. The finished surface of workpiece produces ...

Grinding is one of the most widely employed manufacturing processes when accurate finishing of workpieces is required. In order to investigate the effect of processing parameters to grinding performance, soft computing methods constitute a reliable and economical alternative to other simulation methods, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM). In this study, a comparison between classical Artif...

This paper revisited some wheel–workpiece interaction problems in surface grinding including the profile of heat flux and the variation of the wheel’s elastic modulus. A method of using an optical microscope and a CCD camera was applied to capture the depth and width of the heated zone, the details of the temperature field and the stability of the heat flux. It was found that the heat flux in u...

A suitable grinding fineness and flow-sheet could potentially reduce the mechanical entrainment of gangue minerals in the flotation process of microcrystalline graphite. In this study, the suitable grinding fineness of a commercial graphite ore was estimated by mineralogy analysis and laboratory grind-flotation tests. The target grind size of this ore should be 92% passing 74 μm based on the mi...

A new approach to batch grinding kinetics was established based on the conventional population balance model, with magnetite as experimental object. The distribution function commonly used in model is a sum of two power functions, i.e., Bi1=φ(xi−1x1+1−φ(xi−1x1)β. Based finding that cumulative mass fraction coarser than size class discharge consistent first-order kinetic, gi only single function...

Abstract: The specific rate of breakage is one of the most important factors in evaluation of grinding process especially in ball mill. In this article the effect of ball size and feed size on selection function were investigated using batch grinding circuit on two-iron ore anomaly (B, C) from sangan mine in north of Iran. Eight different monosize fractions were prepared between 2000 and 50...

This study investigates the influence of some chemical additives such as methanol, ethanol, sodium oleat, chloroform and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) on the dry fine grinding of calcite (X50= 33 µm) using a stirred media mill. The experiments were carried out by a batch operation, and the change in colour properties (Ry, whiteness and yellowness) of calcite powder. The results showed that th...
