Abstract: A new high frequency induction brazed monolayer diamond wire saw for cutting aluminum alloy thick plate is developed with the helical continuous cutting edge distance on the wire surface. In order to solve the problems of forming cutting aluminum alloy plates,the brazed diamond wire saw is used to conduct the preliminary cutting tests on the 50 mm aluminum alloy plates on the modified grinder experimental platform.The results indicate that the cutting efficiency of the brazed diamond wire saw is increased with the increasing of the feed tension, the wire saw line speed and the diamond grits size. Furthermore, some cutting chips shape of the aluminum alloy is presented based on experimental cutting.

Abstract: By using ANSYS, the temperature distribution in workpiece of steel 48MnV under the actions of a moving thermal source, is first carried out by FEM for non-linear transient temperature field. On this basis, the residual stress distribution in the workpiece under the action of temperature variation and moving grinding loads is determined by FEM for thermo elastic-plasticity. The result shows that the existent residual stress on surface of grinding hardening is press. The reason of this is discussed. The difference between the simulated value and measured value of grind-hardening stress is acceptable.

Abstract: An attempt has been made to investigate the new generational manufacturing technology for multi-layer diamond tools by brazing. A kind of new multi-layer brazed diamond core drills with random grains distribution was made by mixing diamond particles with brazing alloy powders. And a preliminary machining performance experiment was carried out through drilling granite. The testing results show the typical topography of the multi-layer brazed diamond core drills after drilling granite, just like that of multi-layer sintered ones, is that diamond grits drag long tails. Different from multi-layer sintered diamond core drills, no grit pull-outs can be seen during the whole drilling process because of chemical metallurgical effect between diamond grit and brazing alloy, the same as monolayer brazed diamond core drills. The main drawback to this kind of multi-layer brazed diamond tools is each individual particle is not subjected to the same drilling force throughout the drilling operation because of random grain distribution. This leads to premature fracture of the leading particles. Similarly, because large gaps between particles exist, the bond is being exposed to the workpiece, which leads to erosion of the bond. The overall performance is lower tool lives and slower drilling speeds. Therefore, ideally, diamond particles should be evenly distributed throughout the bond, which means they are all subject to the same drilling forces and the multi-layer brazed diamond tool is operated at its optimum efficiency.

Abstract: This paper studies the grinding temperature field of non-quenched and tempered steels grind-hardening technology using experiments and finite simulation. A mathematical model of grind-hardening temperature field is established to investigate steel 48MnV which is used for making crankshaft. The grinding temperature field is simulated and the hardened depth is forecasted by finite-element method with the triangular shape of the heat source model based on the ANSYS software. The experimental results show that the simulative temperature and estimating hardened depth are comparatively close to the measuring ones. The model could be utilized to forecast the distribution and variation characteristics of the grinding temperature field and the hardened layer depth.

Abstract: A new segmented grinding wheel of the brazed monolayer diamond was developed with a defined grains pattern on the wheel surface. Results of grinding zirconia using brazed segmented diamond wheel were presented. The experiment results showed that the grinding forces ratio becomes higher with the increasing of the specific material removal rate and the specific energy falls with the increasing of the maximum undeformed chip thickness during grinding zirconia process. In this investigation, brazed diamond wheels with defined distribution patterns was conditioned by touch-dressing method so that grit tips get micro-conditioned and allow the underlying grits to participate and consequently improve the quality of finish. All the ground surfaces of zirconia were generated by the combined removal modes of brittle and ductile.

Abstract: The temperature, time and cooling rate are key factors in the hardening process using the grinding heat instead of the high frequency induction heat source. Thus, this paper established the mathematical model estimating the grind-hardening temperature, experimentally determined the grinding temperature and the cooling rate of different grinding parameters for 48MnV microalloyed steel using the conventional aluminum grinding wheel on a surface grinder, and investigated the grind-hardening effects and the forming mechanism of grind-hardening layer. The results show that the estimating temperatures are comparatively close to the measuring ones and hence the model could be utilized to optimize the processing parameters, and the satisfactory grind-hardening temperature and cooling rate could be achieved under the optimized processing parameters. The microstructure of the grind-hardening layer, the fine needlelike martensite in the entirely hardened zone, the martensite and ferrite in the transitional region is similar to that acquired through the high frequency induction technique. Especially, the average hardness of the entirely hardened zone is 740HV and the depth of the hardened layer is adjacent to 1.5mm, which indicate that the grind-hardening effects are very excellent. Different from the forming mechanism of the high frequency induction hardened layer, higher grind-hardening temperature is needed to compensate shorter time austenitization, and because of thermo-mechanical loading induced during grinding, from surface to inside, the morphology of martensite changes from fine to thicker, then to finer, other than from thick to finer.

Abstract: A kind of brazed monolayer diamond grinding wheel was developed with a relatively regular distribution of grains on the wheel surface. Grinding performances of this kind of brazed wheel in the surface grinding of cemented carbide were studied. The experiment results show that the grinding forces ratio becomes higher with the increasing of the maximum undeformed chip thickness and the specific energy falls with the material removal rate during grinding cemented carbide process. Under certain grinding conditions, the material was removed almost through plastic deformation and good surface quality is gained. Furthermore, the grits of the brazed diamond grinding wheel fail mainly in attritious wear modes other than pull-out ones in conventional electroplated and sintered diamond tools, which indicates that the strong retention of brazing alloy to the diamond grits and longer service life of this kind of wheel.

Abstract: An experimental study on induction brazing diamond grinding wheel with Ni-Cr filler alloy was carried out. Brazing trial was conducted at the temperature range of 1020-1080 oC and the brazing time were 10, 20, 30 and 40 seconds in a flowing argon environment with a flow rate of 5000cm3/min. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) results indicate that good wetting existed between the brazing alloy and diamond. The element distribution of C, Cr, Si and Ni were examined by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), the results demonstrated an intermediate layer rich in the chromium formed between the filler metal and diamond. Kinds of compounds formed in the interface were detected by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), and the graphitization of the brazed diamond grits was determined by Raman spectroscopy. The monolayer induction brazing diamond grinding wheels were used in grinding of nature granite, experimental results show that induction brazing wheels performed better than vacuum brazing diamond wheels, and no pullout of diamond grits or peeling of the filler metal layer took place.

Abstract: Although the porous metal bonded diamond grinding wheel, which has recently been developed, had an excellent grinding performance for hard-brittle materials, its applications were only in precision grinding in past study. A new method for fabricating the new porous metal bonded diamond grinding wheel by Ni-Cr alloy as bond and vacuum loose powder sintering was proposed in this paper. The morphology of cross section of the segments and microstructure of interface between diamond grits and bond were analyzed. The wetting mechanism between Ni-Cr alloy bond and diamond is reacting wetting. Machining performance experiments about grinding ratio and surface roughness have been carried out. The testing results show that the porous Ni-Cr alloy bonded diamond grinding wheel has certainly fine machining performance in high grinding force occasion, and the maximal grinding ratio and best surface roughness were 6660 and 1.08
m, respectively.

Abstract: The current surface strengthening process of microalloyed unquenched and tempered steel components is usually induction or laser quenching treatment. Subsequent to heat treatment, these structural parts are subjected to grinding, during which impairment of hardened materials can be caused by thermo-mechanical influence of the grinding process. This paper studies a new method of surface heat treatment by making use of grinding heat and stress to create favorable microstructures and promote high wear and fatigue resistance. This work outlines the influence of grinding parameters on the superficial hardening effect of 48MnV microalloyed steel. It was found that the thickness and hardness of the treated surface layer could be up to 1.6mm and HV750 respectively. The beneficial microstructure of the layer was created by an enhanced martensite transformation. It is highly possible that the method can be used to incorporate grinding and surface hardening into a single grinding operation to develop a cost-effective production method.
