📱 eBook en inglés SURFACE GRINDING OF INTERMETALLIC TITANIUM ALUMINIDES

A deductive kinematic model of creep-feed and speed-stroke grinding processes is developed to identify possibilities to reduce the energy introduced into the workpiece. By computer tomography analysis and tactile measurements of the grinding wheel the pore volume and the static cutting edge number are determined and included in the model. Based on the kinematic model and the grinding wheel characteristics an analytical evaluation of the specific grinding energy for speed-stroke and creep-feed grinding is carried out. The deducted process design is evaluated in experimental investigations. The generated model is evaluated by determining specific process values for the grinding forces and the grinding energy.
