Mathematical Modeling of Process Optimization in Profiling Grinding Wheels via Laser

Abstract

In this work, the experimental research was carried out on the processing of the cutting surface of a grinding wheel with a ceramic bond via continuous laser radiation with a wavelength of 10.6 μm. The influence of laser radiation power, processing speed on the depth and width of the obtained cut was investigated. A full factorial experiment was carried out with varying factors at two levels. In the form of a regression equation, a mathematical model of the effect of radiation power and processing speed on the output parameters of the process is obtained. Using Fisher's criterion, it is shown that the resulting equation adequately describes the process under the study. The analysis of the regression equation makes it possible to assess the relative influence of each factor and the effects of the interaction of factors on the depth and width of the cut on the surfaces of the grinding wheel.
