Abstract

Taking the specific geometry and gesture of the diamond grains into consideration, a novel simulation model to predict the machined surface topography in grinding of superalloy (GH4169) is presented, where the arrangements of abrasive grains and the plowing induced pile-up ridges are also integrated. Based on the designed surface topography of the grains arrayed brazed diamond wheels, the grinding wheel was firstly reconstructed according to the following factors of the abrasive grains, including the shape, dimension, protrusion height, attitude, and position. In accordance with the kinematics of the grains, the pile-up ridges corresponding to the real-time depth of cut were then achieved, and the superposition resulting from the interference of successive abrasive particles was thoroughly discussed to simulate the final ground topography accurately. Finally, the grinding experiments at the selected parameters were undertaken to verify the proposed model, where the measured and simulated surface topography and the surface statistics (Sa, Sq) were investigated and compared. The favorable accordance between the simulated and experimental results indicated the accuracy and the practicability of the proposed model for optimizing the grain arrangement in the diamond wheel design and improving the grinding surface uniformity.
