Abstract: Micro-grinding is an important processing method in micro-manufacturing field. The influence factors of surface quality in micro-grinding are discussed in the article. The models of finite element analysis (FEA) in micro-grinding H62 with electroplated CBN micro-grinding tool were established. The influence of different grinding factors on the surface quality of the work-piece was discussed by FEA. Different grains sizes were considered to reveal the influence rules on surface roughness in grinding experiments. The results show that the surface roughness decreases with the decreasing of the feed speed and the increasing of the grinding speed. A better surface quality can be achieved with smaller grains sizes. The minimum surface roughness can reach 481nm in side grinding H62.

Abstract: Micro-grinding is an important processing method in micro-manufacturing field. A series of micro-grinding experiments were done with several kinds of commonly used metal materials in the paper, and the influence of different grinding factors on the surface quality of the work-piece was discussed. The surface roughness and surface microstructure of each material were analyzed in micro-grinding. The general developmental law of the surface roughness in micro-grinding was got with different grinding parameters. The surface roughness model proposed by is accurately confirmed according to the experimental results. It provides significant results for the quality of micro-grinding and intense research for the development of micro-grinding.

Abstract: Due to the small feed rate used in micro-machining, ploughing force needs to be considered in addition to the chip formation force. A new analytical model has been proposed to calculate cutting forces of micro-grinding process based on the process configuration, work piece material properties, and micro-grinding tool topography. The proposed approach allows the calculation of cutting force comprising both the chip formation force and ploughing forcec considering single grain interaction.

Abstract: The thermocouple temperature measurement method was adopted to measure the surface temperature in micro-grinding experiment. According to the different grinding depth, the appropriate processing parameters were chosen to find out the temperature field distribution on the surface and in different depth of subsurface. It provided a reference basis in order to prevent the grinding burn. It proves that the method combining the finite element theory with experiment method is correct and feasible. It is a basis of the factors of the grinding temperature and surface integrity of the parts. Further more, it is of great significance that grinding mechanism and surface quality improving of the parts be discussed thoroughly.

Abstract: Micro-grinding is a machining method to create submillimeter structures, and it can be applicable to various kinds of materials with a flexible forming ability. However, the micro tool may be easily bended by the grinding force, which results in relative low form accuracy and worse ground surface roughness. To solve these problems, ultrasonic assistance was applied to micro-grinding. This paper proposes a method to calculate ground surface roughness theoretically using statistical approach, and the ground surface improving mechanism of ultrasonic assistance was clarified. Finally, the theoretical calculation was confirmed experimentally using a developed ultrasonic-assisted micro-grinding device.

Abstract: Grinding characteristics brought by the grinding speed reduction and geometrical model differences between micro-grinding and conventional grinding have been mainly researched. Influences which micro-grinding parameter and micro-grinding tool dimension parameter giving to grinding surface quality have been analyzed. The comparison experiment between micro-grinding and micro-milling has been carried out on the micro-machining test-bed developed by Northeast University. Wear of the grinding pin obtained from experiment is considered to provide the basis for the micro-machining system and fabricating of grinding pins.
