Abstract

Compared with the parameters of surface grinding, those of the curved surface abrasive belt grinding are more diverse, and the material removal mechanism is more complicated. This makes the selection of the parameters of the curved surface grinding process extremely difficult. This study investigates the effects of different parameters on the grinding performance of convex surface workpieces. The material removal (material removal efficiency and microchips), grinding heat (overall grinding temperature and single abrasive grain temperature), and grinding surface quality (surface roughness and removal profile) were analyzed in detail at the macro- and microscales. The effects of the grinding parameters on the above three performance indices were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that an increase in the theoretical grinding depth results in a higher material removal efficiency and grinding temperature as well as a superior ground surface quality. The effects of belt speed on the material removal efficiency and grinding temperature are less significant than those of the theoretical grinding depth. Comprehensive consideration of three indicators of grinding performance, when the theoretical grinding depth is 0.16 mm and the belt speed is 26–28 m/s, the abrasive belt grinding performance is relatively superior. Therefore, by comprehensively analyzing the grinding performance, more suitable grinding parameters can be selected to improve the grinding quality of curved workpieces.
