Quantitative Analysis and Evaluation of Valve Core Spherical Surface Grinding Texture

Article Preview

Abstract:

High hardness surface coating sphere components are widely used in metal sealing ball valves. The spherical surface grinding texture influences the valve’s tribological performances such as friction, lubrication and wear of interacting surfaces. It can be used to develop the index of grinding parameter optimization. In this paper, based on the discussion of sphere generating grinding methods, the surface grinding texture is quantitatively analyzed. The space trajectory of abrasive particles during sphere grinding is studied. The trajectory mathematical models are built based on two kinds of sphere grinding manners and are verified by comparing the theoretical results against experimental measurements. The influence of grinding parameters on the texture is analyzed. Texture density are defined to quantitatively describe the surface texture. The relationship between grinding texture and ball valve performance is finally discussed. The conclusions can help to optimize the spherical surface grinding process.
