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...

Surface roughness is a variable often used to describe the quality of ground surfaces as well as to evaluate the competitiveness of the overall grinding system. The subject of this paper is a grinding process performed on P20 tool steel by changing the grinding conditions, including the depth of cut, the grinding passes, the type of wheel, and the cutting fluid supply in the experiment. The mai...

A simple and effective solution to the robot grinding problem is introduced, which significantly reduces vibrations during grinding without additional actuators or active control. The objective is to determine the optimal compliance design for grinding robot tool holders. Specifically, the tool holder design should improve accuracy and productivity while protecting the robot arm from the large ...

Two of the important parameters in grinding operation are surface roughness of the workpiece and the amount of consumed energy. These parameters are strongly affected by the condition of grinding wheel surface which is dependent on the dressing parameters. Predicting the roughness of the grinding wheel surface after dressing with known dressing parameters can improve the grinding process. Resea...

Background: The austenitic stainless steel 304L is widely used as a structural material for which the finished surface has significant effect on the service performance. A study of the grinding process with regard to the quality of the ground surfaces is therefore interesting from the point of view of both industrial application and scientific research. Method: This work investigates the influe...

A grinding force model is developed to predict the forces during the face grinding of cast iron and aluminum alloy 319. Design of experiments methods are used to create a response surface of four process parameters: feed rate, inclination angle of the grinding wheel profile, offset angle between the grinding wheel and the workpiece, and the peripheral speed of the wheel. For each material, thre...

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...

Grinding can introduce surface and subsurface damage into ceramics, which may reduce the load-bearing area, and thus the residual strength of a ground component. In this study, the principle of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is applied to predicting grinding damage for ceramics. A nonlinear thermodynamic constitutive model is established to describe the response of ceramics to complex grindin...

This paper analyses the fracture behavior of the brazed BCBN grain by comparison with brazed PCBN grain through grinding test of Nickel-based superalloy. The self-sharpening effect is created by timing micro-fracture behavior for BCBN abrasive grains, but by macro-fracture behavior for PCBN abrasive grains. During grinding with brazed BCBN abrasive grains, the material is removed together with ...

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...
