Fundamental and Practical Evaluation of the Ceramic Finishing Process.
Abstract
The geometric and kinematic modes of material removal have been determined for four types of aluminas under differing environmental conditions and for various system parameters. The effect of various liquid environments on the force levels generated in single point diamond grinding of three alumina ceramics has been determined. The liquids used were water, n-alkanes, n-alcohols, toluene and carbon tetrachloride. The effects of these liquids were compared with the dry environment grinding conditions. The force levels and the amount of stock removed appear to be higher as the chain length of n-alcohols increases. There are sharp deviations from the expected direct relationship between the observed forces on one hand, and the kinematic viscosity and the chain length of the liquids on the other hand. The effects of microstructural parameter, the grain size, on the magnitude of forces generated while grinding hot-pressed, fully dense alumina (Al2O3) with a single point diamond wheel were experimentally investigated.
