Face Grinding Surface Quality of High Volume Fraction SiC_(p)/Al Composite Materials

摘要

The existing research on SiC_(p)/Al composite machining mainly focuses on the machining parameters or surface morphology.However,the surface quality of SiC_(p)/Al composites with a high volume fraction has not been extensively studied.In this study,32 SiC_(p)/Al specimens with a high volume fraction were prepared and their machining parameters measured.The surface quality of the specimens was then tested and the effect of the grinding parameters on the surface quality was analyzed.The grinding quality of the composite specimens was comprehensively analyzed taking the grinding force,friction coefficient,and roughness parameters as the evaluation standards.The best grinding parameters were obtained by analyzing the surface morphology.The results show that,a higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain a better surface quality.The final surface quality is related to the friction coefficient,surface roughness,and fragmentation degree as well as the quantity and distribution of the defects.Lower feeding amount,lower grinding depth and appropriately higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain better surface quality.Lower feeding amount,higher grinding depth and spindle speed should be chosen to balance grind efficiently and surface quality.This study proposes a systematic evaluation method,which can be used to guide the machining of SiC_(p)/Al composites with a high volume fraction.
