Optimization Design of the Grinding Wheel Topography for High Efficiency Grinding

On the basis of the measurement of grains distribution on the grinding wheel surface, many experiential models of the grinding wheel topography were set up. But it is pity that few of them yield practical and valuable achievement as yet. The essential reason is that the common foundation of all these models was based on the actual measurement of specific wheel topography. So it didn’t have universal applicability. Considering that the absolute irregular distribution of grains is not the requirement of the grinding process, contrarily it will bring much negative influence to grinding process. By conversely reasoning, a new conception on the relatively regular and reasonable distribution of grains on the wheel surface in accordance with different machining demands is put forward in this paper, and furthermore a creative idea of optimization design of grinding wheel topography in accordance with machining demands and grinding parameters as well as the optimization of grinding parameters in accordance with machining demands and grinding wheel topography is proposed. In the light of this idea, not only the modeling and simulation of grinding process can be really carried out, but also the optimization of grinding process and the estimation of grinding results can be realized straightway. In conclusion, a superabrasive slotted grinding wheel is designed as a practical application of the optimization model and a creep feed deep grinding experiment is carried out to verify the optimization results.

A review on single-pass grinding processes

The most important grinding processes were realized in a single pass of the grinding wheel,such as continuous path controlled grinding (CPCG/Peelgrinding/HSP),CPCG with reduced contact of the grinding wheel (Quickpoint),single-pass longitudinal internal grinding,creep feed grinding (CFG),longitudinal cylindrical grinding with grinding wheels made of conventional abrasive materials and longitudinal internal cylindrical grinding using grinding wheels with zone-diversified structure.

Effect of antioxidants on the efficiency of jet milling and the powder characteristics of Sm2Co17 permanent magnets

This study investigated the effect of antioxidants on the grinding efficiency,magnetic powder characteristics,microstructure,and magnetic properties of 2:17 type SmCo permanent magnet materials.The results show that adding antioxidants helps improve the dispersion among magnetic powders,leading to a 33.3%decrease in jet milling time and a 15.8%increase in magnet powder production yield.Additionally,adding antioxidants enhances the oxidation resistance of the magnetic powders.After being stored in a constant temperature air environment at 25C for 48 h,the O content in the powder decreased by 33%compared to samples without antioxidants.While in the magnet body,the O content decreased from 0.21 wt.%to 0.14 wt.%,which helps increase the effective Sm content and domain wall pinning uniformity in the magnet.Excellent magnetic properties were obtained in the magnet with added antioxidants:B_(r)=11.6 kGs,SF=79.6%,H_(cj)=16.8 kOe,and(BH)_(max)=32.5 MGOe.
