Comparative Research on the Grindability of Ti-6Al-4V and PTMCs with WA Wheel and CBN Wheel

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article studies the effect of process parameters on the grindability of Ti-6Al-4V and particulate reinforced titanium matrix composites (PTMCs) comparatively, using the wheels of white alundum (WA) and cubic boron nitride (CBN) respectively. The processing variables, such as grinding force, grinding temperature, specific energy were investigated in detail. The results indicate that the grinding force and temperature with WA wheels were obviously larger than that of CBN wheels. The specific energy of Ti-6Al-4V and PTMCs decreased gradually with the increase in the maximum underformed chip thickness using the two different wheels.
