Abstract: In this study, the influences of carbides and alloy additives on ground surface characteristics of several high Chromium (Cr) steels and abrasive grains of working surface were discussed. In the grinding using metal bonded CBN wheel, almost constant values in ground surface roughness and high grinding ratio were shown. 5% Cr steel with Vanadium, 8% Cr steel and 10% Cr steel showed a rougher surface than Cr steels with 3%, 4% and 5% due to the carbide inclusion. The grinding ratio of 5%Cr steel could be raised considerably by adding sulfur to it.

Abstract: Advanced ceramics has many advantages and great potential of application, but its high machining cost resulted from its high hardness and brittleness limited its application. Grinding with superabrasives is the most suitable and effective way for machining of advanced ceramics. Grinding with vitrified bond CBN wheels is a developing direction of high efficient grinding for engineering ceramics. Grinding of the promising composite ceramics of TZP/Al2O3 with vitrified bond CBN grinding wheels was investigated in this paper. The results showed that higher material removal rates and satisfactory surface finish were achieved, CBN wheels with coarser grit size or with higher CBN concentration had higher grinding ratio. G-ratio increased with the increasing of wheel speed.

Abstract: It is experimentally found that existing micro-holes or micro-concaves on the cemented carbide base surface of electroplated CBN wheel is one of important reasons to worsen the combining intensity of the electroplated abrasives layer with the grinding wheel base. It is well solved by sealing the holes or concaves with steam sealing method. Further more the electroplated CBN wheel with cemented carbide base for precision grinding of compressor cylinder vane slot is developed by optimizing the electroplating prescription and process. Productive grinding results show that the ground surface roughness, size precision and the wheel life have reached the advanced index of the same type of wheel imported.

Abstract: Optical surface finish below Ra 10nm can be achieved on a ‘Tetraform C’ grinder of ultra-high stiffness, when grinding a low alloy steel with or without the help of ELID (electrolytic in process dressing). Surface roughness generation modelling has been carried out to predict thepossible surface roughness values. Efforts have been made to transfer the process knowledge to different grinding mode using a rigid 5-axis Edgetek CNC grinder. The effects of material removal rate and grit size and also that of spark out passes on the surface roughness generated have been investigated.
