SEM-EDS-based analysis of the amorphous carbon-treated grinding wheel active surface after reciprocal internal cylindrical grinding of Titanium Grade 2® alloy

Abstract

In this article, we described a detailed analysis of the composition of elements remaining on the amorphous carbon-treated grinding wheel active surface (GWAS) after reciprocal internal cylindrical grinding of Titanium Grade 2 ® alloy. For this purpose, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) combined with energydispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS) techniques were used. The SEM imaging and observation of selected fragments of active surface of 1-35 × 10 × 10-SG/ F46G10VTO grinding wheel was mainly carried out by use of two advanced microscopy systems: JSM-5500LV (JEOL Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and Auriga ® (Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, Jena, Germany). During EDS measurements, the Octane plus (EDAX, Inc., Mahwah, NJ, USA)-a high-accuracy silicon drift detector (SSI) was used. Conducted SEM-EDS analysis shows that applied impregnation method ensure the presence of impregnate in a grinding wheel body, also in subsequent work cycles of tool. Observed Ti cloggings on the GWAS appear solely on dulled vertices of active abrasive grains, which demonstrates the limited impact of the impregnate in the zone of direct contact between abrasive grains and machined workpiece surface. However, lack of extensive cloggings of the intergranular spaces indicating an effective removal of long ductile chips of Ti from grinding zone aided by the introduction of an amorphous carbon.

Multi-Objective Optimization for Grinding of AISI D2 Steel with Al2O3 Wheel under MQL

“…The lowest temperature in the wet cooling mode could be due to the excellent cooling provided by Castrol Syntilo 9954. In addition, the obtained results are in good agreement with the previous literature survey [21].…”

“…It is noted from Figure 7 that under specific conditions MQL competes with, and even performs better than, the wet cooling mode. Moreover, the results achieved are in good agreement with the published literature [21].…”

“…In the past researchers developed a model for cutting force in plunge cylindrical grinding [18], whilstin internal grinding [19], an innovate modeling approach to predict temperature distribution was developed [20]. For measurement of response Naolny et al has proposed a new SEM-EDS-based analysis of grinding of titanium grade 5 [21]. Sutowski et al worked on monitoring the cylindrical grinding process using acoustic emission signal (AE) and image analyses [22].…”

Research into the Disintegration of Abrasive Materials in the Abrasive Water Jet Machining Process

“…The size and shape of abrasive grains [1,2] are important in abrasive machining processes for achievement of both high efficiency and high accuracy [3][4][5] of the treated surface. During the injection of the abrasive into the jet within the mixing chamber and the focusing tube of the cutting head, the intensive abrasive material disintegrates [6], which is one of the characteristic properties of this process [7].…”
