The grinding process of Titanium (Ti) alloys is extremely difficult as the cutting temperature is much higher than other machining processes due to the low thermal conductivity, high chemical reactivity, and rapid work hardening during machining of Ti alloys. This research investigates the effect of technology parameters on the surface roughness in the surface grinding of Ti–6Al–4V (Ti64) alloy with resinoid cBN grinding wheel. The experimental results show that the surface roughness is significantly affected by the feed rate, depth of cut (DOC) and cooling condition. Increasing feed rate or DOC all provides the higher surface roughness. The surface roughness obtained in the wet grinding is higher than those of the dry cutting. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of Ti64 surfaces show that the machining surface with fewer defects can be produced with wet grinding process.

In this paper, the analysis on the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness of workpieces in surface grinding has been conducted. Experimental SUJ2 steel grinding process is made with CBN grinding wheel. The tests is made on an APSG-820/2A surface grinder. The Box- Behnken method has been used to design experiments. Minitab 16 statistical software has been used to analyze ANOVA test results. The results show that the feed-rate has the greatest effect on surface roughness, followed by the least effects of velocity of workpiece, depth of cut on surface roughness. The interaction between velocity of workpiece and depth of cut has the greatest effect on surface roughness, followed by the effects of the interaction between the feed-rate and depth of cut, the interaction between velocity of workpiece and the feed-rate has insignificant effects on surface roughness. This study also shows the value range of some cutting parameters for processing surface of workpiece with small roughness. Finally, a regression model of surface roughness has been established in this study.

In this article, a study on intermittent surface grinding using aluminum oxide grinding wheel with ceramic binder is presented. The testing material is 20XH3A steel (GOST standard – Russian Federation). The testing sample has been sawn 6 grooves, with the width of each groove of 10 mm, the grooves are evenly distributed on the circumference of sample. The testing sample resembles a splined shaft. An experimental matrix of nine experiments has been built by Taguchi method, in which abrasive grain size, workpiece speed, feed rate and depth of cut were selected as input variables. At each experiment, surface roughness (Ra) and roundness error (RE) have been measured. Experimental results show that the aluminum oxide and ceramic binder grinding wheels are perfectly suitable for grinding intermittent surface of 20XH3A steel. Data Envelopment Analysis based Ranking (DEAR) method has been used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. The results also showed that in order to simultaneously ensure minimum surface roughness and RE, abrasive grain size is 80 mesh, workpiece speed is 910 rpm, feed rate is 0.05 mm/rev and depth of cut is 0.01 mm. If evaluating the grinding process through two criteria including surface roughness and RE, depth of cut is the parameter having the greatest effect on the grinding process, followed by the influence of feed rate, workpiece speed, and abrasive grain is the parameter having the least effect on the grinding process. In addition, the effect of each input parameter on each output parameter has also been analyzed, and orientations for further works have also been recommended in this article

The selection of optimum machining parameters plays a significant role for the quality characteristics of products and its costs for grinding. This study describes the optimization of the grinding process for an optimal parametric combination to yield a surface roughness using the Taguchi method. An orthogonal array and analysis of variance are employed to investigate the effects of cutting environment (A), depth of cut (B) and feed rate (C) on the surface roughness characteristics of mold steels. Confirmation experiments were conducted to verify the optimal testing parameters. The experimental results indicated that the surface finish decreased with cutting-fluid and depth of cut, but decreased with increasing feed rate. It is revealed that the cutting fluid environment had highest physical as well as statistical influence on the surface roughness (71.38%), followed by depth of cut (25.54%), but the least effect was exhibited by feed rate (1.62%).

This article presents a new model of the flat surface grinding process vibration conditions. The study establishes a particular analysis and comparison between the influence of the normal and tangential components of grinding forces on the vibration conditions of the process. The bifurcation diagrams are used to examine the process vibration conditions for the depth of cut and the cutting speed as the bifurcation parameters. The workpiece is considered to be rigid and the grinding wheel is modeled as a nonlinear two-degrees-of-freedom mass-spring-damper oscillator. To verify the model, experiments are carried out to analyze in the frequency domain the normal and tangential dynamic grinding forces. The results of the process model simulation show that the vibration condition is more affected by the normal component than the tangential component of the grinding forces. The results of the tested experimental conditions indicate that the cutting speed of 30 m/s can permit grinding at the depth of cut up to 0.02 mm without sacrificing the process of vibration behavior.

The grinding process is a machining process to obtain qualified surface roughness levels and high dimensional accuracy. There are two types of processes in the grinding process, namely the roughening and finishing processes. The vibration effect of the roughing process can damage and shorten the life of the tool/machine, while in the finishing process, the effect of vibration will reduce the dimensional accuracy, shape, and surface smoothness of the workpiece. This study aims to determine the effect of crossfeed on the amplitude of vibration and surface roughness of the workpiece on the surface grinding process. The materials used are hardened tool steel OCR12VM with a variety of grinding stone types A46QV and A80LV made of aluminum oxide. The Variables of process parameters are crossfeed (mm / step) and depth of cut (mm). The measurement of vibrations uses an accelerometer, which is processed by the math CAD program in the form of amplitude and frequency. For surface roughness measurements, it is used the MT-301 surface test with 5 sample points and a sample length of 0.8 mm. The results show that the greater the cross-feed value, the bigger the amplitude of the vibration level and the surface roughness of the workpiece. The magnitude of the amplitude of the vibration on the acceleration that occurs in the grinding stone type A46QV starts from 6,7369 -18.7525 g.rms, while the grinding stone type A80LV starts from 5.0904 g.rms to 18.2821 g.rms. The surface roughness achieved in both grit 46 and grit 80 is from N3 to N5.

In this study, the mutil-objective optimization was applied for the surface grinding process of SAE420 steel. The aluminum oxide grinding wheels that were grooved by 15 grooves, 18 grooves, and 20 grooves were used in the experimental process. The Taguchi method was applied to design the experimental matrix. Four input parameters that were chosen for each experiment were the number of grooves in cylinder surface of grinding wheel, workpiece velocity, feed rate, and cutting depth. Four output parameters that were measured for each experimental were the machining surface roughness, the system vibrations in the three directions (X, Y, Z). The DEAR technique was applied to determine the values of the input parameters to obtaine the minimum values of machining surface roughness and vibrations in three directions. By using this technique, the optimum values of grinding wheel groove number, workpiece velocity, feed-rate, cutting depth were 18 grooves, 15 m/min, 2 mm/stroke, and 0.005 mm, respectively. The verified experimental was performed by using the optimum values of input parameters. The validation results of surface roughness and vibrations in X, Y, Z directions were 0.826 (µm), 0.531 (µm), 0.549 (µm), and 0. 646 (µm), respectively. These results were great improved in comparing to the normal experimental results. Taguchi method and DEAR technique can be applied to improve the quality of grinding surface and reduce the vibrations of the technology system to restrain the increasing of the cutting forces in the grinding process. Finally, the research direction was also proposed in this study

Surface integrity has attracted the attention of researchers for improving the functional performance of engineering products. Improvement in surface finish, one of the important parameters in surface integrity, has been attempted by researchers through different processes. Grinding has been widely used for final machining of components requiring smooth surfaces coupled with precise tolerances. Proper selection of grinding wheel material and grade with grinding parameters can result in an improved surface finish and improved surface characteristics. The present work reports the study of the effect of grinding parameters on surface finish of EN8 steel. Experiments were performed on surface grinding and cylindrical grinding for optimization of grinding process parameters for improved surface finish. Grinding wheel speed, depth of cut, table feed, grinding wheel material and table travel speed for surface grinding operation, and work speed for cylindrical grinding operation were taken as the input parameters with four types of grinding wheels (Al 2 O 3 of grades K and L, and white alumina of grades J and K). The surface roughness was taken as an output parameter for experimentation. The grinding wheel material and grade have been observed to be the most significant variables for both cylindrical grinding and surface grinding. Surface roughness in the case of surface grinding is better compared to that of cylindrical grinding, which can be attributed to vibrations produced in the cylindrical grinding attachment. Surface roughness ( R a ) values of 0.757 µm in cylindrical grinding and 0.66 µm in surface grinding have been achieved.

The quality of machined parts and the productivity of machining that leads to economic sustainability.  These factors are also vital for machinability improvement for materials, as well as, for economically sustainable manufacturing. Due to their poor machinability titanium alloys (Ti-alloys) are categorised as difficult-to-machine materials. For the same reason products made of Ti-alloys are highly expensive and are used only in strategic and sophisticated industries.  A series of real-life experimental investigations was carried out to reveal the economic optimal zones of machining parameters that can produce the best possible surface roughness in machining Ti-6Al-4V alloy, using the coated carbide cutting tools, in shortest period of operation time. As the output of the research, for using the coated carbide tools for machining the investigated Ti-alloy, optimal zones of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut have been proposed and presented in graphical format. The current research revealed that all three groups (with nose radius Nr = 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 mm) of coated carbide tools are capable to produce best surface finish, ranging between Ra = 0.5 - 1.0 µm, with cutting speed starting at V = 60 m/min and beyond at least up to V = 250 m/min while keeping the feed rate and depth of cut as constants as f = 0.1 mm/rev and d = 0.5 mm. The data on the graphs may help researchers, engineers and manufacturers to select optimal economic cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut to achieve a certain level of surface roughness of machined components as assigned by the product designer on the part drawing. This reduces the production cost substantially, reduces number of defect products and improves product quality for machined parts.
