Grindability Evaluation of Advanced Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Evaluation system of grindability was proposed for advanced ceramics. Grinding forces and material removals of SiC, Al2O3, Si3N4 and ZrO2 were measured. Grindabilities of ceramics were evaluated with property parameters based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation theory. The experimental results suggest that grindabilities of SiC and Al2O3 are better than those of Si3N4 and ZrO2. The fuzzy evaluation results show grindabilities of SiC and Al2O3 ceramics are classified as grade of very easy to grind, and Si3N4 and ZrO2 are classified as grade of difficult to grind. The ranking of maximum grinding principal stresses of ceramics considering Poisson’s ratio is SiC, Al2O3, ZrO2 and Si3N4. Theoretical analysis calculated with property parameters is consistent with experimental results in comparison of grinding output parameters. The proposed evaluation system for ceramic grindability is feasible, and the evaluated results are comprehensive and reasonable.
