AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for preparing grinding balls require high-temperature sintering, which leads to high energy consumption, increased costs, and waste of resources, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high hardness and low-temperature sintering.
A grinding wheel is prepared by adding manganese dioxide to a ceramic binder and silicon carbide micro powder to the abrasive through low-temperature sintering (1050℃). The manganese dioxide in the binder acts as a flux, while the silicon carbide micro powder in the abrasive improves the performance of the grinding wheel, reduces the sintering temperature, and enhances toughness and wear resistance.
This technology enables the sintering of grinding wheels at low temperatures, reducing energy consumption, improving the toughness and wear resistance of grinding wheels, extending service life, reducing workpiece thermal deformation, and meeting the requirements for high hardness and high shrinkage.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of grinding wheel preparation equipment, in particular to a low-temperature grinding steel ball grinding wheel preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ceramic grinding steel ball grinding wheel is a special tool for grinding spherical steel balls for rolling bearings, and is mainly applied to the hard grinding process of steel ball processing. Steel balls are widely used in the bearing industry, and the surface roughness and surface precision requirements are very high. The surface precision of the smallest steel ball is 0.06 mm, and the technical index requirements are achieved through one-time grinding. Therefore, the quality requirements of the grinding wheel for grinding steel balls are particularly high. The quality and yield of the grinding steel ball grinding wheel directly affect the quality and yield of the steel ball, and indirectly affect the development of the bearing industry. Due to the characteristics of steel ball grinding and the requirements of grinding process, the grinding wheel for grinding steel balls must have high hardness, high density, fine granularity, uniform organization and certain toughness.
[0003] The ordinary grinding wheel is realized by high-temperature binder phase transition at 1100-1350℃, i.e. high-temperature reaction type binder phase transition, and low-melting filler to realize high shrinkage of the grinding wheel, to achieve high hardness of the product. However, at the low-temperature sintering temperature of 1050℃±30℃, the phase transition temperature cannot be reached, and at the firing temperature of 1200-1350℃, the energy consumption is high, which causes waste of resources and increases the production cost.
[0004] A ceramic binder grinding steel ball grinding wheel is disclosed in Chinese patent CN102363578B. The ceramic binder grinding steel ball grinding wheel is made of clay, feldspar, boron-containing glass, bentonite, and water manganite to form a high-strength high-shrinkage engineering ceramic binder. Then, the binder is combined with mixed material grinding material. The emulsion effect of boron glass is utilized to promote glass nucleation. The swelling bentonite and water manganite powder promote the formation of a high-strength high-shrinkage engineering ceramic structure. The binder is cold-pressed and high-pressure formed, and then fired at a certain temperature to obtain a ceramic binder grinding steel ball grinding wheel. The ceramic binder grinding steel ball grinding wheel needs to be fired at 1250℃, which requires high energy consumption, causing waste of resources and increasing production cost.
[0005] To solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a low-temperature grinding steel ball grinding wheel preparation technology to reduce the manufacturing energy consumption of the ceramic grinding steel ball grinding wheel. SUMMARY

[0016] (4) steaming, passing the wet-mixed molding material through an 8# sieve and placing it in a mold for 45 hours in a steaming chamber;
[0017] (5) drying, passing the steamed molding material through an 8-10# sieve, placing it in a mold, and placing it in a constant temperature environment at 40-45°C for 4 days;
[0018] (5) molding, placing the dried molding material in a size mold, and pressing it at a pressure of 8.4 MPa for 30 s to obtain a molded grinding wheel blank;
[0019] (6) sintering, placing the grinding wheel blank in a 1050°C furnace for 9-12 h, and then cooling it to room temperature to obtain a grinding wheel piece;

[0079] Example 4 differs from Example 1 in that only silicon carbide powder is added, without adding manganese dioxide, and the remaining steps remain unchanged.
[0080] Comparative Example 1:
[0081] The low-temperature grinding steel ball grinding wheel is made of raw materials in the following mass percentages:
[0082] Ceramic bond: clay 18%, feldspar 22%, borosilicate glass powder 10%;
[0083] Abrasive: white corundum 30%, silicon carbide 20%;
[0084] The preparation method of the low-temperature grinding steel ball grinding wheel comprises the following steps:
[0085] (1) batching, mixing clay, feldspar, borosilicate glass to prepare ceramic bond; mixing silicon carbide and corundum to prepare abrasive; mixing the ceramic bond and the abrasive to obtain molding mixture.
[0086] In this step, the mass of manganese dioxide added is 5% of the mass of the ceramic bond, and the mass of silicon carbide powder added is 5% of the mass of the abrasive.
[0087] (2) Dry crushing and mixing: the molding mixture after dry crushing and mixing is put into a ball mill and mixed at a speed of 60 rpm for 2 hours.
[0088] (3) Wet mixing and stirring: water at 90°C is added to the molding mixture after dry crushing and mixing, and mixed for 30 min.
[0089] In this step, the mass of water added is 7% of the mass of the molding mixture.
[0090] (4) Steaming: the molding mixture after wet mixing is passed through an 8# sieve and placed in a mold, and placed in a steaming room for 45 hours.
[0091] (5) Drying: the molding mixture after steaming is passed through a 10# sieve and placed in a mold, and placed at a constant temperature of 45°C for 4 days.
[0092] (5) Molding: the molding mixture after drying is placed in a mold with a pressure of 8.4 MPa for 30 seconds to obtain a molded grinding wheel blank.
[0093] (6) Sintering: the grinding wheel blank is placed in a furnace at 1050°C and sintered for 10 hours, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain a grinding wheel piece.
[0094] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that no silicon carbide powder and manganese dioxide is added, and the remaining steps remain unchanged.
[0095] The following compares and analyzes Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, and Comparative Example 1:
[0096] Under the same parameters, the sintering conditions at 1050°C, hardness, shrinkage, and sintering temperature of the molded low-temperature grinding steel ball grinding wheel are compared.
[0097] Table 1 Performance comparison of low-temperature grinding steel ball grinding wheel
[0098]
[0099] Since Comparative Example 1 did not sinter at 1050°C, it was observed that the temperature was increased to 1260°C to sinter; Examples 1, 2, and 3 all sintered at 1050°C; and Example 4 had poor shrinkage at 1050°C.
[0100] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that Examples 1 and 2 added the same manganese dioxide and silicon carbide powder, and sintered at 1050°C, with high shrinkage.
[0101] Example 3 only added manganese dioxide, canceled the addition of silicon carbide powder, resulting in sintering at 1050℃, but the shrinkage was poor.
[0102] Example 4 only added silicon carbide powder, without adding manganese dioxide, resulting in poor sintering and shrinkage.
[0103] Comparative Example 1 did not add silicon carbide powder and manganese dioxide, resulting in no sintering at 1050℃, sintering did not occur until 1260℃, and the shrinkage was 9.1%.
[0104] Therefore, by adding manganese dioxide to the ceramic bond and adding silicon carbide powder to the abrasive, the sintering temperature of the low-temperature abrasive steel ball grinding wheel can be reduced to 1050℃, while also showing good hardness and shrinkage, effectively reducing energy consumption.
