AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since the ultra-high hardness of boron carbide is second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride, the main processing method is to use diamond abrasives for grinding and grinding, and because boron carbide has the characteristics of low fracture toughness and high brittleness, it can be used in grinding When cutting, a small cutting amount must be used, so the processing efficiency is low

[0003] Usually, the grinding process of the boron carbide air bearing is: directly use the chuck of the grinding machine or use the elastic chuck to clamp the outer circle of the boron carbide air bearing, and then grind the inner hole and both ends of the bearing. It is necessary to re-clamp multiple times to measure the axial dimension of one end face or remove the part. However, the repeated positioning accuracy of this clamping method is not high, so it is difficult to achieve the above-mentioned accuracy indicators through grinding, and manual grinding is required to achieve the accuracy.

[0004] Moreover, during the grinding process of the inner hole and end face of boron carbide air bearing parts, the diamond grinding wheel cannot be trimmed online. It is necessary to disassemble the diamond grinding wheel from the grinding machine and then trim it. The machining accuracy and surface roughness of boron carbide material bearing parts cannot meet the requirements of use, which affects the machining accuracy and efficiency of parts

[0005] It can be seen that the inner hole and both ends of the boron carbide air bearing parts are ground by the usual clamping and positioning method, because the grinding process requires multiple clamping of the boron carbide air bearing, as well as multiple loading, unloading and trimming Diamond grinding wheel, it is difficult to achieve the required size and shape accuracy
