The Study of the CBN Grain Shape on its Microcutting Performance Based on Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Given that the grain geometry has an important impact on grinding process, it’s necessary to investigate the influence of grain shapes on grinding mechanism. In this paper, a 3D FEM model is developed to study the effects of CBN grain geometry on its microcutting performance under various speed levels, which is effective to understand the microcutting process qualitatively and quantitatively. The simulation results indicate that the single grain microcutting force ratio and material removal ratio are both sensitive to the grain shape and those grains with truncated tetrahedron shape of large cross-sectional area and negative rake angle would improve the cutting performance.
