The Modelling and Analysis of Topographical Properties with the ‘through-the-Process’ Grinding Wheel Model

Abstract:

The single layer superabrasive wheels are made by joining all abrasive grains onto the wheel hub by electroplating or brazing. Recently, the attention has risen to acquire better grinding quality through more stringent grain size control. For the size grain control process, the abrasive grains are re-meshed for smaller dimensional derivation after outsourced from external grain manufacturers. Therefore, the understanding of correlation between the grain dimensional deviations with the wheel performances will be critical for the wheel design and optimization. In this paper, the ‘through the process’ grinding wheel model is developed for single layer CBN wheels by simulating each wheel fabrication procedure numerically. The effectiveness of the wheel model is verified by comparing with the experimental measurement, which proves the efficacy of the wheel model and could further provide the quantitative basis for grinding wheel quality control and process design.
