Grinding Performance of Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al-4V with Monolayer Brazed CBN Slotted Wheels

Abstract:

An experimental investigation was conducted on grinding Ti-6Al-4V alloy with monolayer brazed CBN slotted wheels for detecting the performance of the newly developed tools. The results showed that the effects of grinding parameters on the grinding forces and surface roughness with the brazed wheels were similar to that obtained with conventional electroplated ones to a certain extent. However, due to some distinguished features of the brazed CBN tools, i.e., high grain protrusion, optimum grain distribution and especially high joining strength, grain premature pullout behavior that had often occurred for electroplated tools was not observed during grinding, which had significant influence on the CBN wheels with merely singer-layer grains.
