Experiment Research on ZrO2 Engineering Ceramics with Abrasive Belt Grinding

Abstract

Abrasive belt grinding experiments of ZrO2Engineering Ceramics are carried out by using 4 different abrasive belts. The orthogonal test with zirconia-corundum belt was to get the best grinding parameter, the amount of material removal workpiece surface roughness and belt wear were measured to get the best grinding parameter.In this paper,the influence of abrasive belt granularity and different grinding parameters to grinding efficiency and workpiece surface quality throughout the process of grinding ZrO2Engineering Ceramics was analyzed. Analysis wear mechanism of engineering ceramics based on the Abrasive cutting model by observing the surface morphology. The results show that increasing the grinding force or the abrasive belt granularity can decrease the workpiece surface roughness;With the abrasive belt speed or grinding force increasing,the material removal rate and the wear ratio to some extent, but brittle fracture is occued easily on its surface when exceeds the critical value; When the abrasive belt speed is 19m/s,the grinding force is 15N and the abrasive belt granularity is 120#, ZrO2Engineering Ceramics grinding effects reach the best.
