Surface roughness is a significant parameter which determines the efficiency of optical components. Surface damages induced by grinding strongly influence the mechanical strength and optical quality of optical glasses. It is meaningful to rapid evaluate the surface roughness through the measurement of different grinding parameters. In this study, a cup diamond wheel (D64) is used in grinding pr...

This research is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the grinding process. A kind of robust grinding wheel reciprocating arrangement is schemed out, which realizes the precise point-grinding machining. The grinding wheel reciprocating movement is driven by a linear motor to replace the traditional crank or hydraulic pressure drive device. Based on the time series method, the modal exp...

Grinding is a key physical element in America’s Cup sailing. This study aimed to describe kinematics and muscle activation patterns in relation to torque applied in forward and backward grinding. Ten male America’s Cup sailors (33.6 ̆ 5.7 years, 97.9 ̆ 13.4 kg, 186.6 ̆ 7.4 cm) completed forward and backward grinding on a customised grinding ergometer. In forward grinding peak torque (77 Nm) occ...

This paper proposes a slurryless, highly efficient polishing method called ultrasonic vibration assisted electrochemical mechanical (UAECMP) to realize 4H–SiC wafers with subnanometer surface roughness. UAECMP involves using simultaneously assist anodic oxidation of the SiC and removal generated oxide layer. The performance was evaluated by experiments theoretical analyses. For (0001) surface, ...

Grinding machines is one of the outcomes agricultural sector work process mechanization aimed at reducing tedium and drudgery on workers improving overall productivity production. However, machinery drive component mechanical energy are associated with noise vibration, thereby inducing safety health concerns for operators. This study assessed compared vibro-acoustic characteristics caused by th...

Abstract This study here by presents a method for comparative assessment of grinding wheels during the grinding process of hard-to-cut materials. The method in question consists of carrying out a short grinding cut in plunge grinding kinematics using grinding wheels with a customized macro-geometry upon the active surface. The work presents examples of this method’s efficacy when applied to the...

A mathematical description of grinding processes used in powder technologies is developed. A grinding equation, an operator equation, connecting the final particle size distribution function to the particle size distribution function before the grinding process is studied. The mathematical model introduced here can be used to predict the results of grinding, to construct grinding systems with d...

This paper investigates experimentally the effect of compressed cold air (CCA) and vegetable oil on the surface integrity and residual tresses of ground tool steel components. It shows that CCA can reduce grinding temperature and produce a compressive residual stress up o the grinding depth of 30 m. CCA can also improve surface finish while keeping grinding forces low. Oil was found to be more ...

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...
