Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/677,635, filed on Nov. 7, 2019, now pending, which is a continuation of International Patent Application PCT/CN2019/090698, filed on Jun. 11, 2019, and claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 201810608183.3, filed on Jun. 13, 2018. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference.
- This application relates to a grinding wheel and preparation thereof, and more specifically to an orderly-micro-grooved PCD grinding wheel and a method for making the same.
- Grinding has been widely applied in the precision machining due to the characteristics of high processing precision and good surface quality. 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 grinding, 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 burn the workpiece surface, and reduce the service life of the grinding wheel.
- Extensive researches have been performed to find a method for improving the grinding efficiency and service life of the grinding wheel. Chinese Publication No. 107962510A, titled “CVD diamond grinding wheel with ordered surface micro-structure” put forward a method in which a diamond film is deposited on the outer circumferential surface of a grinding wheel hub by chemical vapor deposition, and a large number of staggered and ordered microgrooves and grinding units with waist-type top surface are prepared on the outer circumferential surface of the whole diamond film by pulsed laser beam. This method improves the removal rate and grinding efficiency of the surface material and increases the holding force of the grinding wheel hub for the grinding units, improving the service life of the grinding wheel to a certain extent. 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 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 ground surface.
- Further, in order to improve the integrity of the ground surface and achieve the grinding in a positive rake angle, Chinese Publication No. 105728961A, titled “Method for manufacturing a new positive-rake angle diamond grinding tool based on pulse laser”, provides a method for preparing positive rake angles of diamond abrasive grains by laser. In the method, the large single-layer diamond abrasive grains orderly arranged on the working surface of the grinding wheel are ablated by laser to obtain a point angle less than 90°, which enables grinding with a positive rake angle. The method effectively solves the problem that abrasive grains of the conventional diamond grinding wheel cut the surface of the workpiece in a large negative rake angle, which improves the processing efficiency and reduces the damage to the ground surface, improving the integrity of the ground surface. However, in the process of preparing large-sized diamond abrasive grains by laser, the high laser ablation temperature will inevitably cause partial graphitization of the diamond abrasive grains, affecting the positive rake angle cutting of the abrasive grains for the workpiece surface and reducing the quality of the ground 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.
- In order to further improve the quality of the ground surface and the grinding efficiency, Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 107243848A, titled “A spiral ordered fiber tool for positive rake angle processing and preparation method thereof”, discloses a method in which the matrix is prepared on the grinding wheel hub by pressing and sintering, and the ordered holes are processed on the matrix using a drilling bit. Then the fiber with positive rake angle is consolidated in the small holes by the epoxy resin. The method enables cutting with a positive rake angle, and further improves the surface quality and the processing precision. 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.

Preferably, the diameter of the wheel hub is 100 mm, and the thickness of the wheel hub is 12 mm. The outer circumferential surface of thePCD film 2 is polished by ion beam polishing to reach a surface roughness of 0.15-0.2 preferably 0.2 The outer circumferential surface of thePCD film 2 is processed by a water-jet guided laser device, for example Laser MicroJet® Integration Package (LMJ-iP) to form a number of microgrooves and micro-grinding units on the entire surface of thePCD film 2.

Upon the completion of thesecond microgroove 10, themicro-grinding unit 9 is formed between the first and thesecond microgrooves 10. Then themicro-grinding unit 9 is processed to form aclearance angle 13, for example 40°. These procedures are repeated to continue to process the PCD film so as to form a number ofmicrogrooves 10 with high depth-width ratio and a number ofmicro-grinding units 9 on the entire circumferential surface of thePCD film 2. The formedmicro-grinding units 9 have substantially the same shapes and dimensions. The details about a water-jet guided laser device may refer to Yaowen W U et al. (Overview on the development and critical issues of water jet guided laser machining technology, Optics and Laser Technology, 137 (2021), 106820), Yi S H I et al. (Texturing of metallic surfaces for superhydrophobicity by water jet guided laser micro-machining, Applied Surface Science, 500 (2020) 144286) which are incorporated herein by reference. - The
PCD film 2 on thewheel hub 1 is finally processed with ordered arrangement of themicrogrooves 10 and themicro-grinding units 9, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . A pickling treatment and ultrasonic cleaning in deionized water for 15 min may be further performed on the grinding wheel. - The outer circumferential working surface of the grinding wheel is provided with a large number of micro-grinding units with positive rake angle, which ensures that the micro-grinding units are worked in a positive rake angle during grinding, lowering the grinding force ratio and temperature, effectively reducing the damage to the surface and greatly improving the grinding performance and efficiency.
- A large number of microgrooves with high depth-width ratio are provided on the outer circumferential working surface of the grinding wheel, which greatly improves the chip-holding space. Meanwhile the micro-grinding units are orderly arranged so that ordered chip-removing channels are formed during grinding, which greatly improves the chip-removing capacity and makes the grinding wheel less prone to blockage, effectively promoting the entering of the grinding fluid into the grinding zone, significantly improving the cooling effect for the grinding zone, reducing the thermal damage to the workpiece surface and further enhancing the grinding quality.
- When the micro-grinding units are processed by the water-jet guided laser technique, the laser beam propagates along the water jet in a total reflection. During the processing, the laser is guided by the water jet to the surface of the PCD film to ablate the PCD film, and the ablated PCD film is carried away by the water jet. Additionally, the water jet also cools the surface of the PCD film, which effectively prevents the graphitization of the micro-grinding units, providing better grinding performance and greatly enhancing the surface quality.
- The service life of the grinding wheel is extended. The PCD film on the outer circumferential surface of the grinding wheel is deposited by the HFCVD technique. The micro-grinding units are a part of the PCD film, which prevents the micro-grinding units from singly falling off due to excessive or concentrated grinding force and significantly improves the service life of the grinding wheel.
- The number of effective cutting edges per unit area is increased and alleviates the periodic vibration during grinding. The micro-grinding units have the characteristics of high protrusion and good consistency, so that the cutting edge of each micro-grinding unit can participate in the grinding.
- The shape and dimension of the micro-grinding units on the outer circumferential surface of the grinding wheel both have a good periodicity. Therefore, in the preparation process, the relative motion relationship between the Laser-Micro jet device and the grinding wheel can be controlled by the numerical control technology, which greatly reduces the difficulty in the preparation of the grinding wheel and lowers the cost.
- It should be understood that the above embodiments are only illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, various equivalent modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention fall within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims
