This article explores the effects of parameters such as cutting speed, force, polymer wheel hardness, feed, and grit size in the abrasive belt grinding process to model material removal. The process has high uncertainty during the interaction between the abrasives and the underneath surface, therefore the theoretical material removal models developed in belt grinding involve assumptions. A conclusive material removal model can be developed in such a dynamic process involving multiple parameters using statistical regression techniques. Six different regression modelling methodologies, namely multiple linear regression, stepwise regression, artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), support vector regression (SVR) and random forests (RF) have been applied to the experimental data determined using the Taguchi design of experiments (DoE). The results obtained by the six models have been assessed and compared. All five models, except multiple linear regression, demonstrated a relatively low prediction error. Regarding the influence of the examined belt grinding parameters on the material removal, inference from some statistical models shows that the grit size has the most substantial effect. The proposed regression models can likely be applied for achieving desired material removal by defining process parameter levels without the need to conduct physical belt grinding experiments.

In the abrasive belt grinding process, there are factors affecting the machining stability, efficiency, and quality. Based on the analysis of the grinding process, the normal force in the contact area between the abrasive belt and the workpiece is a major factor. By comparing constant force and non-constant force grinding, the results imply that keeping the grinding force constant will achieve desired material removal and better surface quality. The phenomenon of over- and under-cutting of the workpieces can also be avoided by a constant normal force. In this article, a controllable and flexible belt grinding mechanism accompanied with a mechanical decoupling control strategy is built and tested. Afterward, a detailed comparison is made between the traditional force-position coupling system and the proposed decoupling control system. The proposed control system suppresses the interference between the position and force control systems. The contact force is directly measured and controlled without detecting the position of other components in the tool system. The complexity of the control system is thereby reduced. Finally, several grinding experiments are carried out. The standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the measured normal force are kept within 0.25 and 0.02, respectively. The experiment results reveal that the mechanical decoupling system performs well in force control compared with the traditional force-position coupling system. In addition, the surface roughness Ra < 0.4 μm, the surface quality of the workpiece is improved significantly with the constant force controller.

A blisk is one of the key parts of an aero-engine, whose surface processing quality directly affects aero-engine performance. Different degrees of vibration occur during the process of new open belt grinding which seriously affect the precision of the dimensions and the surface quality of the entire blade profile. With the aim of addressing this problem, this study constructed a physical model of blisk belt grinding, analysed the low-rigidity characteristics of the grinding system, and researched the vibratory mechanism of the blisk belt grinding system based on a dynamic analysis method. In addition, the factors affecting the stability of the grinding process and the stability conditions of the grinding were considered. Then, the belt grinding process of a blade surface was simulated through a numerical method. The technological parameters were quantified for different conditions of the blisk belt grinding vibration. The optimal combination of process parameters was obtained. Finally, the optimised process parameters were validated experimentally. The research demonstrates that vibration from blisk belt grinding is related to the process parameters as follows, in the order of the greatest influence: the grinding pressure, belt velocity, feed speed, and contact wheel hardness. After optimisation, the cross-sectional profile is 0.031–0.041 mm and the surface roughness is 0.1–0.2 μm; the surface is smoother and has better consistency.
