Grinding of Cast Iron with Wheels Made of Superhard Materials

摘要

Optimum grinding conditions for cast iron with wheels made of superhard materials were determined. Type PP 250 x 10 wheels made of metallized and non metallized diamond and various brands of CBN with 125/100 grains at 100 % concentration on metellic M0 16 and organic B1 type bonds were used. Type KZ 25 CMIK 5 wheels of the same size were investigated for purposes of comparison. The experimental samples, 80 and 230 mm in diameter made from grey cast iron (HB 178), alloy cast iron (HB 200), high strength cast iron (HB 207), chilled cast iron (HB 460) and hardened cast iron (HCR 52-55), were ground on a 3 B 12 cylindrical grinder at cutting speeds of 35 m/sec, a workpiece velocity of 54 m/min and a longitudinal feed of 0,5 - 2,0 m/min. The crossfeed ranges rom 0,005 to 0,4 mm/sec. The cutting fluid was an aqueous solution of calcium carbonate supplied at 3 to 5 l/min.
