AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The orderly-micro-grooved PCD grinding wheel described in this patent has improved holding force, reduced grinding force ratio, increased chip-removing capacity, and improved grinding quality. It includes a PCD film, microgrooves, and micro-grinding units arranged in an ordered manner. The micro-grinding units with a positive rake angle and the microgrooves with a high depth-width ratio on the working surface of the grinding wheel can reduce the grinding force ratio, increase the chip-removing capacity, and improve the chip-holding space, which promotes the entering of the grinding fluid into the grinding zone to significantly improve the cooling effect for the grinding zone, reducing thermal damage to the grinding zone. The size and shape of the micro-grinding units on the outer circumferential surface of the grinding wheel both have a good periodicity, which makes it easier to control the relative motion relationship between the Laser-Microjet device and the grinding wheel using numerical control technology.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the traditional grinding process, abrasive grains are irregularly arranged on the working surface of the grinding wheel, and vary in geometrical shape and size, so that the abrasive grains often cut the surface of the workpiece in a large negative rake angle during the grinding process, which will increase the grinding force ratio, accelerate the conversion of grinding energy into heat and raise the grinding temperature, affecting the surface quality and grinding efficiency.

In addition, the grinding wheel also has disadvantages of small chip space and low protrusion of abrasive grains, and the grains are easy to fall off, which may easily cause a blockage at the grinding wheel and produce a local high temperature to damage the workpiece surface, and reduce the service life of the grinding wheel.

However, the single grinding unit is still operated at a zero rake angle during the grinding process, so that the grinding efficiency and the surface quality cannot be further improved.

Meanwhile, the circumferential spacing of the orderly arranged grinding units in the grinding process reaches 1 mm, which will result in a typical intermittent grinding, and the generated periodic vibrations by the grinding process may also affect the integrity of the processed surface.

However, in the process of processing large-sized diamond abrasive grains by laser, the high laser ablation temperature will inevitably cause partial graphitization on the diamond abrasive grains, affecting the positive-rake angle cutting of the abrasive grains for the workpiece surface and reducing the surface quality of the processed surface.

At the same time, the single large-sized diamond abrasive grain may fall off if it is subjected to excessive or concentrated force, which may affect the grinding efficiency and even reduce the service life of the grinding wheel.

However, since the fiber has a cross-sectional size of 0.8 mm×0.8 mm and the number of fibers per square centimeter on the surface of the tool is only 14.26, the single fiber may have a large cutting depth, making it difficult to ensure the processing precision.

Moreover, a rupture will occur if a single fiber is subjected to an excessive or concentrated force, which may affect the service life of the grinding wheel.

There are also great difficulties in the process that all the fibers are inserted into the small holes one by one and consolidated.
