Experimental Research on Dry Grinding of Titanium Alloy with Graphite Coated Brazed cBN Mounted Wheel

Article Preview

Abstract:

During dry grinding of titanium alloy, workpiece burn and chips adhesion phenomenon always takes place, which influences the surface quality of the machined components. In this paper, the solid lubricants, composed of graphite and polyvinyl butyral, are covered on the brazed cubic boron nitride (cBN) mounted wheels using the ultrasonic vibration method. Test of grinding of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is carried out with the above tools. Comparative dry grinding tests are carried out to reveal the performance this new-type abrasive tools. Experimental study shows that the grinding temperature with the cBN grinding mounted wheels covered by graphite is lower than that of non-lubricant-covered wheels; the grinding surface with the cBN mounted wheels covered by graphite is remarkably improved with a roughness Ra lower than 1.5 μm. And graphite lubricant participates in grinding operation constantly.
