Investigation of Surface Quality on Dry Belt Grinding of Ti6Al4V Alloy

Abstract:

This paper deals with an investigation of surface integrity of Ti6Al4V alloy with zirconia alumina and SiC belts. The experiments were conducted under dry grinding environments in milling machine XS5040 equipped with belt grinding device. Microcosmic geometry parameters were measured with TALYSURF5 instrument, the surface morphology machined workpiece and the phase structure was analyzed using 3D viewer microscope, surface hardness for ground surface was measured by HXS-1000A instrument. The results show that surface quality maintain better level during a long period, the grinding affected zone was small(≤15μm), zirconia alumina belt has excellent performance than SiC belt during dry grinding Ti6Al4V alloy.
