Definitions
- This invention relates generally to producing a workpiece and more particularly to a method and apparatus for producing a precisely textured surface on a workpiece.
- Roughness can be defined as the finer irregularities of the surface texture, usually including those irregularities which result from the inherent action of the production process, such as traverse feed marks. Average roughness is the arithmetic average of the absolute values of the profile height deviations taken within the sampling length. Average roughness is specified in micro-inches or micro-meters.
- Lay pattern refers to the direction and description of the predominant surface pattern. Lay is normally a function of the production method. For example, a workpiece machined on a lathe will typically show a lay pattern that is circular around the workpiece.
- One example of a workpiece requiring a specific roughness and lay pattern is a wheel on an off-highway truck.
- the wheel is typically a casting that is machined to the specific dimensions and tolerances specified by the manufacturer. In some machining operations, a surface is machined to a given dimension and is later configured to finished dimension or configuration.
- a ramp on the inner profile of the wheel is a specific area that engages a duo-cone seal.
- a critical specification of the ramp has an average roughness between 3.75 and 6.250 micro-meters (140 and 240 micro-inches). Additionally, the ramp specification requires that there is no lay pattern. Presence of a lay pattern provides a leakage path at the interface of the duo-cone seal and the ramp. For example, a typical lay pattern created on a lathe may leave a relatively shallow groove in a circular fashion around a part. The groove may act as a path for lubrication to follow past the elastomeric toric of the seal.
- a typical method for achieving the desired average roughness without a lay pattern is to grit-blast the ramp area after all other machining has been performed on the workpiece.

- a second disadvantage is the extra labor expense for transporting the workpiece to and from the grit-blast station.
- a third drawback to grit-blasting relates to the affected zone of the blast procedure. Grit-blasting leaves an affected zone similar to that of spray painting, i.e. overspray, it is difficult to limit the blast of grit to a precise area, therefore it is possible to damage a portion of the workpiece that has already been machined.

Abstract
This invention relates to a method and apparatus to create a pre-established textured surface on a workpiece. The pre-established textured surface includes an average roughness and a non-directional lay pattern being formed to a controlled width.
Description
- This invention relates generally to producing a workpiece and more particularly to a method and apparatus for producing a precisely textured surface on a workpiece.
- In the manufacture of machines such as earthmoving equipment, it is often necessary to produce a surface texture on a part which has a predetermined average roughness and lay pattern.
- Roughness can be defined as the finer irregularities of the surface texture, usually including those irregularities which result from the inherent action of the production process, such as traverse feed marks. Average roughness is the arithmetic average of the absolute values of the profile height deviations taken within the sampling length. Average roughness is specified in micro-inches or micro-meters.
- Lay pattern refers to the direction and description of the predominant surface pattern. Lay is normally a function of the production method. For example, a workpiece machined on a lathe will typically show a lay pattern that is circular around the workpiece.
- One example of a workpiece requiring a specific roughness and lay pattern is a wheel on an off-highway truck. The wheel is typically a casting that is machined to the specific dimensions and tolerances specified by the manufacturer. In some machining operations, a surface is machined to a given dimension and is later configured to finished dimension or configuration.
- One example, of a portion of the wheel that is configured after being premachined is a ramp on the inner profile of the wheel. The ramp is a specific area that engages a duo-cone seal. A critical specification of the ramp has an average roughness between 3.75 and 6.250 micro-meters (140 and 240 micro-inches). Additionally, the ramp specification requires that there is no lay pattern. Presence of a lay pattern provides a leakage path at the interface of the duo-cone seal and the ramp. For example, a typical lay pattern created on a lathe may leave a relatively shallow groove in a circular fashion around a part. The groove may act as a path for lubrication to follow past the elastomeric toric of the seal.
- A typical method for achieving the desired average roughness without a lay pattern is to grit-blast the ramp area after all other machining has been performed on the workpiece. A first drawback to using the grit-blast method is the need to provide an additional work station for grit-blasting. A second disadvantage is the extra labor expense for transporting the workpiece to and from the grit-blast station. A third drawback to grit-blasting relates to the affected zone of the blast procedure. Grit-blasting leaves an affected zone similar to that of spray painting, i.e. overspray, it is difficult to limit the blast of grit to a precise area, therefore it is possible to damage a portion of the workpiece that has already been machined.
- In one aspect of the present invention a workpiece is adapted for engagement with the elastomeric toric on a duo-cone seal. The workpiece includes a centerline and a pre-established surface texture defined concentrically about the centerline. The pre-established surface texture is defined by having an average roughness and a lay pattern that is non-directional.
- In another aspect of the present invention a texturing tool is defined for precisely deforming the surface of a workpiece. The texturing tool includes a tool steel member with a central axis extending though the steel member. A bore is centered about the central axis and has a predetermined diameter. A peripheral surface extends abut the tool steel member and includes a coating having an average roughness that is greater that the desired roughness of the workpiece.
- In another aspect of the present invention a method for producing a surface texture having an average roughness and a lay pattern that is non-directional is defined. The method of producing the surface texture includes securing the workpiece, positioning a tool relative to the surface to be textured, interfacing the texturing tool with the surface of the workpiece, and rotating one of the texturing tool or the fixture.
- FIG. 1 is a view of a lathe having a texturing tool of the present invention attached to the lathe and a sectional view of a workpiece of the present invention is positioned within a fixture.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the texturing tool of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is an end view of the texturing tool of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a workpiece of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the workpiece of the present invention taken along line5 of FIG. 4.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a
horizontal lathe 10 is illustrated. Thehorizontal lathe 10 includes abase 12, afixture 14, and atool carrier 16. Thefixture 14 is adapted to hold aworkpiece 18 in a position that allows atexturing tool 22 to interface with asurface 24 of theworkpiece 18 that is to be textured. In this application the workpiece is a casting 25 which may or may not have a plurality of premachined surfaces. Thetool carrier 16 may be moveable along multiple axis's (x, y and z) 26. Thetool carrier 16 may additionally be used to move thetexturing tool 22 rotationally about theworkpiece 18. Thetexturing tool 22 for precisely creating atextured surface 24 having a pre-established average roughness and non-directional lay pattern is attached to a tool holder 28. The tool holder 28 may included afirst portion 30 for attaching to thetool carrier 16 and a second portion for attaching to thetexturing tool 22. Thefirst portion 30 and thesecond portion 32 of the tool holder 28 may be adapted to slidingly engage each other, and may further include aspring 34 positioned between the first andsecond portions - Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the
texturing tool 22 of the present invention is illustrated. Thetexturing tool 22 includes atool steel member 40 having acentral axis 42 extending through thetool steel member 40. A bore 44 is centered about thecentral axis 42 of thetexturing tool 22 and has apredetermined diameter 48. The bore 44 is adapted to interface with a bearing member 50 or an axle to allow thetexturing tool 22 to rotate about itscentral axis 42. Aperipheral surface 52 extends about thetool steel member 40. Theperipheral surface 52 preferably matches at least a portion of a profile of thesurface 24profile 60 to be textured. Acoating 54 having a texture mirroring a desired pre-establishedsurface texture 56 is applied to theperipheral surface 52 of thetool steel member 40. Thecoating 54 may be applied through conventional coating techniques, such as, plasma sprayed carbide or cemented diamond processes. An alternative to using a textured coating is to created the texture mirroring the pre-establishedsurface texture 56 on thetool steel member 40 and then harden the tool steel member using conventional hardening methods. A critical factor of thecoating 54 is the capability to withstand the force required to deform theworkpiece 18. Excessive force on the coating may damage thecoating 54. In order to achieve the desired roughness on theworkpiece 18 it may be necessary to use acoating 54 having a roughness that is proportionally greater than the desired roughness of theworkpiece 18. For example, experimentation has shown that a textured surface on a workpiece that has a hardness of approximately 3.9 Brinell with an average desired roughness between 3.75 and 6.25 micro-meter (150 and 240 micro-inch), thetexturing tool 22 should be coated with thecoating 54 having an average roughness of approximately 300 micro-inch. - Referring to FIG. 4, a sectional view of the
workpiece 18 of the present invention is shown. Theworkpiece 18 includes acenterline 58 and aprofile 56 defined about thecenterline 58. At least a portion of theprofile 60 has thepre-established surface texture 56. Thepre-established surface texture 56 includes a precise average roughness having no lay pattern. Additionally the pre-established surface texture 62 includes a controlledwidth 64. The controlledwidth 64 is defined by afirst border 66 and asecond border 68 spaced at a predetermined distance from thefirst border 66. - Referring to FIG. 5, an enlarged view of the section as taken along line5 of FIG. 4. Shown is a portion of the
profile 60 that includes thepre-established surface texture 56. Aramp 72 or angled portion has a substantially smooth surface prior to being acted on by thetexturing tool 22 which creates thepre-established surface texture 56 having a specified average roughness and no lay pattern. One example of a specified average roughness is between 3.75 and 6.25 micro-meters (148 and 246 micro-inches). It should be noted that the present invention could be applied to a wide degree of specified average roughness. Additionally theramp 72 portion of theprofile 60 includes the controlledwidth 64. - Industrial Applicability
- With reference to the drawings, and the previous detailed description, the
workpiece 18 of the present invention is machined from a rough casting 25 that is substantially similar in shape to thefinished workpiece 18. The casting 25 is positioned in thefixture 14 in thelathe 10. Using conventional machining tools and practices material is removed from the casting 25. Material removal continues until the workpiece 18 dimensions are within the range of tolerances specified by the manufacturing drawings. After the portion of thesurface 24 to be textured of theworkpiece 18 to be textured has been machined to the substantially smooth finish, thetexturing tool 22 and tool holder 28 is attached to thetool carrier 16 of thelathe 10. Thetool carrier 16 moves thetexturing tool 22 into a position near the portion of thesurface 24profile 60 to be textured. At least one of thetexturing tool 22 or thefixture 14 holding theworkpiece 18 is then rotated and thetexturing tool 22 is moved into contact with the portion of thesurface 24profile 60 to be textured. The amount of deformation of theworkpiece 18 is controlled by the force that thetexturing tool 22 exerts on theworkpiece 18 and the number of passes that thetexturing tool 22 makes over the portion of thesurface 24profile 60 to be textured. Adjusting the force exerted on theworkpiece 18 is the simplest way to affect the amount of texturing. In the case of thespring 34 being loaded within the tool holder 28, the force exerted on theworkpiece 18 is a function of how far thespring 34 is compressed. The distance that thespring 34 is compressed is equal to the distance that thetool carrier 16 moves toward theworkpiece 18 after thetexturing tool 22 contacts theworkpiece 18. The greater the force exerted on theworkpiece 18, the greater the average roughness of the texturing. However, it must be realized that increasing the force that thetexturing tool 22 exerts on theworkpiece 18 will not create a rougher surface than that of thetexturing tool 22. Additionally excessive forces exerted on thetexturing tool 22 may increase wear or damage thetexturing tool 22. Repeated application of thetexturing tool 22 to theworkpiece 18 surface has been found to be most effective in creating a uniform surface appearance. - The above identified invention provides an effective method for applying a pre-established textured surface to a workpiece without the previously mentioned disadvantages caused by grit blasting.
- Other aspects, objects and advantages of the present invention can be obtained from a study of the drawings, the disclosure, and the appended claims.
