Abstract
This paper presents the results of research concerning the radial wear of super hard grinding wheels in the process of internal grinding of bearing rings. The new-developed grinding wheel is designed for bonding the abrasive grains of submicrocrystalline boron nitride using a glass–ceramic bond. This grinding wheel is compared to cBN grinding wheels composed from ceramic bonding systems, currently having application in industry. A crystalline phase from a group of single-diagonal pyroxenes of an XYSi 2O 6 type was generated at the glass–ceramic bond from a CaO–MgO–Al 2O 3–B 2O 3–SiO 2 system. An influence of the presence of this phase on the bond fracture toughness coefficient K Ic and the elastic modulus E of cBN grinding wheels was examined. Compared to grinding wheels comprising the commercial bond from a Na 2O–K 2O–Al 2O 3–B 2O 3–SiO 2 system, the microcrystalline structure of the new-developed bond limits the range of its fragmentation in the process of grinding. It exerts a marked influence on the formation of different roughness profiles on the wheel working surface and the wear resistance, compared to a grinding wheel composed from a commercial bond.
