Abstract: Abstract. Embedded K nickel chrome-nickel silicon thermocouple was used to measure the grinding temperature of stainless steel in the cases of high-speed grinding while machining SUS304 Stainless Steel with vitrified CBN wheels in high speed grinding conditions.The energy partition is approximately 7.7% by matching the measured temperature to the analytically computed temperature. 3D FEM simulations for some typical grinding conditions are carried out.The error between the simulation analysis temperature results and the experimental results is approximately 3% on the grinding surface,and the error between the simulation analysis temperature results and the experimental results is approximately 10% below the grinding surface.

Abstract: In this paper, there are two kinds of material (cermet and cemented carbide) to be used. Different grinding conditions were performed for evaluation of RMS of acoustic emission(AE) signals and understanding the effect of each grinding parameter on AE RMS during grinding process. A kind of on-line monitoring method based on wavelet analysis and acoustic emission was raised and the nonlinear relation model between AE RMS,wavelet energy coefficients and wheel passivation state was built. During the process,the wavelet analysis method was used to decompose the original signals for extracting wavelet energy coefficients. The results of experiments indicates that AE RMS increases with increasing table speed;The corresponding relation between AE RMS and table speed is good and could take the table speed as the main parameter for studying wheel passivation state. As a result, the nonlinear relation model can monitor the wheel passivation degree on-line accurately through training. This provides a kind of viable method which has very high practical value for confirming the wheel dressing cycle.

Abstract: The grinding temperature in wheel-workpiece contact zone in HSDG of alumina ceramic was measured using the grindable K type thermocouple. Effects of the grinding conditions, including wheel velocity, feed rate and depth of cut, on the temperature were investigated. The results indicate that the grinding temperatures measured under different grinding conditions varied from 100 to 300 °C. The grinding zone temperature exhibits a reasonably linear relationship with the average energy flux, i.e. the higher the energy flux, the higher the corresponding grinding zone temperature will be.

Abstract: Focusing on the characteristic of hard-to-grinding for viscous materials, such as titanium alloy, systemic process experiments were done about grinding viscous materials, such as TC4 titanium alloy, under the high efficiency deep grinding (HEDG). Based on the analysis to the changing and characteristic of unit area grinding force F' with maximum undeformed chip thickness hmax and equivlent cutting thickness aeq , this paper discussed the changing of its material removal mode and analyzed the changing and characteristic of grinding force ratio N, specific grinding energy es with corresponding parameters further. Then, it was analyzed about the consumption of grinding power on the process of HEDG for TC4 titanium alloy. The experiment results reveal that application of HEDG can improve machining efficiency of grinding viscous materials.

The changing of grinding force per unit area with maximum undeformed chip thickness hmax and equivalent cutting thickness aeq are analyzed in this paper. The effect of maximum undeformed chip thickness hmax and specific material removal rate Zw' on specific grinding energy es, material removal mechanism and consumption of grinding power in HSDG process are also discussed. The experiment results reveal that application of HSDG can improve machining efficiency of grinding TC4.

Abstract: This paper reports a systematic investigation of high speed grinding of hard-to-machining of titanium alloys. The ground surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and the effects of different grinding parameters on roughness were discussed. A numerical model was established to predict surface roughness based on the evolutionary neural network optimized by Genetic Algorithm (GA). The modeled results were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract: Electrolytic In-process Dressing (ELID) has been applied in high speed grinding of partially stabilized zirconia. Using a developed electrode system, the ELID effect on a bronze bond diamond wheel was significant. This resulted in a decrease in grinding force, and thus improved the ground surface quality. The improvement of grinding performance was attributed to the good maintenance of wheel sharpness by ELID dressing.
