Abstract
Porous vitrified bond grinding wheels with complex structure, high porosity, controllable pore size have fundamental application in high efficiency and precision grinding of hard and brittle materials. In this paper, direct ink writing (DIW) is proposed to fabricate three kinds of grinding wheels, including solid structure, triangle structure, and lattice structure. Moreover, the rheological property of ceramic ink with different doses of xanthan gum (XG) solution was investigated to ensure printability, demonstrating 3% XG solution can meet requirements. Additionally, the effect of sintering temperature and pore former (PMMA) contents on size shrinkage rate, morphology, mechanical strength, and porosity et al. were studied. The results indicate that the diamond grinding wheel with 30 vol% PMMA and sintered at 670 °C possess the best comprehensive performance. Besides, grinding performance was evaluated by surface morphology, surface roughness, and material removal rate. Among the DIW-fabricated wheels, triangle structure grinding wheel and lattice structure grinding wheel possess a higher material removal rate than solid structure grinding wheel. Therefore, the porous structure grinding wheels fabricated by DIW present the advantage of controllable porosity, excellent self-sharpening ability, and higher bond strength, which may pave the way for designing a new generation vitrified bond diamond grinding wheel.
