The Experiment Research of Precision Grinding of Li-Ti Ferrite with Graphite Grinding Wheel

Abstract

Li-Ti ferrite used in aviation occasions needs good surface quality. In conventional grinding it is difficult to meet the surface demand. Accordingly, this paper proposed a new grinding process to change the situation. The process employed graphite grinding wheel which is always used in ultra-precision grinding of steel piece. The process can obtain good surface quality and ensure certain material removal rate. The ground surface appearance is nearly mirror-like. The lowest surface roughness of Ra value of the ground surface is 0.05μm in the experiment. The ground surface morphology is made up of spread glazed area and dispersed minute pits. The ductile regime dominates the material removal mechanism and no surface damage is induced in the process. In consideration of the results in the experiment it can be seen that grinding with graphite grinding wheel is a good finishing procedure in ferrite machining because of its obtained high surface quality.
