Computer Simulation Technology of Precision Lapping Process of Polycrystalline Diamond

Abstract:

Polycrystalline diamond, (PCD) is currently used in the industry for cutting tools of difficult-to-machine materials because of its superior characteristics such as hardness, toughness and wear resistance. But the PCD material is difficult to machine due to its above properties. Before making the PCD blank in varies tools, the lapping process is essential and necessary. The lapping quality depends heavily on the parameters. Therefore it is of great significance to study the path and velocity of lapping process for ensuring the lapping quality and uniform wear of abrasive disk. In this paper, on the basis of kinematics and geometry principle, the path equation was established. The complicated lapping process can be converted into two rotation movements, i.e. the movement of part against the center of lapping disk and rotation of fixture around its center. The relative path and relative velocity of random point of the part against abrasive disk were also analyzed and calculated. The computer simulation software was developed for figuring the path curves and instantaneous velocity of the lapping process. The results show that the abrasive disk can wear uniformly and the lapping quality can be raised. The application of computer simulation software provides the possibility to analyze the lapping principles, which is a simple, convenient and effective method.
