| Abstract | |
The aim of this work is to study the wheel/workpiece dynamic interactions in high speed grinding using vitrified CBN wheel and low stiffness workpieces made of difficult-to-grind (DTG) materials. This problem is typical in the grinding of engine valve heads. The test bench used is a high speed grinding machine with an excitation system composed of an electrodynamic exciter (shaker) and an amplifier. The machine was equipped with acoustic emission, acceleration, power and proximity sensors. Two different systems were used to perform the acquisition of these signals, with one computer being utilized to acquire the acoustic emission, power and rotary signals and another in charge of acquiring the acceleration signal as well as generating the excitation signal to the shaker. Experiments were carried out to observe the influence of vibrations in the wheel wear. The influence of tangential force per abrasive grain was investigated as an important control variable for the determination of G ratio. The measurements of acoustic emission, power and vibration signals helped in identifying the correlation between the dynamic interactions (produced by forced random excitation) and the wheel wear. The wheel regenerative chatter phenomenon was observed by using the wheel mapping technique. The results indicate the existence of a vibration velocity limit value above which there is a change in the major wear mechanism of the wheel. Another important observed phenomenon, when the process is dynamically excited, is the modification of the chip formation mechanism which makes the wheel to work as a rougher toll. (AU) | |
