Principles, characteristics and solutions for cracks generated by grinding workpieces by grinding wheels

When high-speed grinding operations are performed, the heat generated during the process does not only lead to grinding burns but also causes a significant number of relatively regular cracks—known as grinding cracks—to appear on the workpiece's surface. These cracks not only mar the appearance of the components but also have a direct impact on the quality of the finished parts. Grinding cracks differ significantly from quenching cracks produced during typical heat treatments. Grinding cracks are confined to the grinding surface, with minimal depth and consistent depth across the affected area. Mild grinding cracks typically form perpendicular or nearly parallel lines to the grinding direction, arranged systematically, which we categorize as the first type of crack. More severe cases manifest as tortoise-shell patterns (closed networks). When these cracks are subjected to acid etching, they become clearly visible, classifying them as the second type of crack. To prevent grinding cracks, it is essential to address the root cause—grinding heat. Here are some strategies for mitigating this issue: 1. **Grinding Process Adjustments**: - **Cooling**: During dry grinding, it’s advisable to minimize the amount of material removed to reduce heat buildup. Wet grinding employs two types of grinding fluids: water-based and oil-based. Water-based fluids generally offer superior cooling compared to oil-based ones. 2. **Selection of Grinding Wheel**: - **Hardness**: Opt for softer grinding wheels to decrease the production of grinding heat. - **Abrasive Type**: Sharper abrasives can effectively reduce the heat generated during the grinding process. - **Margin Distribution**: Implementing a coarse-to-fine grinding approach is beneficial. Coarse grinding can utilize a softer wheel with larger grits, enabling aggressive material removal and enhancing efficiency. Subsequent fine grinding uses finer wheels for precision finishing. Reducing the single-cut depth also helps in minimizing the occurrence of grinding cracks. - **Feed Speed**: Slowing down the grinding wheel’s feed rate is another effective method to reduce cracking. All these approaches collectively aim to reduce heat generation during the grinding process, thereby decreasing the likelihood of cracks forming on the workpiece. By carefully managing these factors, manufacturers can improve both the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of their products.
