Study on Arithmetic of Surface Damage Ratio in High speed Machining of Graphite Based on Matlab Image Processing

摘要

The surface quality of graphite cannot be completely evaluated only by the roughness value Ra measured by profilometer. The surface damage ratio S_c is presented to give quantitative description of surface quality of graphite, which was calculated as the ratio of the projection area of fracture craters to the overall area of free surface. The machined surface was observed and taken photo by use of the stereo microscope with CCD image acquisition system. Matlab image processing tool was used to convert the color photo to binary image, in which fracture craters were shown as black pixels and the other surfaces as white pixels. The surface damage ratio is the result of the sum of black pixels divided by the overall pixels. Under the same conditions of high speed machining experiments for verification, the surface damage ratio was calculated in comparison with the Ra values measured by profilometer. The variation tendency of surface damage ratios exhibited good coherence to the measured roughness.
