When grinding wheels operate at high speeds, the intense heat generated during the process doesn’t just lead to grinding burns; it also causes numerous regular, yet often unwanted, cracks—known as grinding cracks—to form on the workpiece’s surface. These cracks don’t just mar the appearance of the components; they also have a direct impact on their overall quality.
Characteristics of Grinding Cracks
Grinding cracks differ significantly from quenching cracks that occur during typical heat treatments. Unlike quenching cracks, which may run deeper and occur internally, grinding cracks are limited to the grinding surface, typically with a relatively shallow depth. These cracks are often uniform in depth. In milder cases, the cracks tend to be perpendicular or nearly parallel to the grinding direction, forming straight, orderly lines, which we classify as the first type of crack. More severe grinding results in a pattern resembling a turtle shell, characterized by a closed, interconnected network, known as the second type of crack. When subjected to acid etching, these cracks become highly visible.
Prevention of Grinding Cracks
Since grinding cracks stem primarily from excessive heat, minimizing this heat is crucial to preventing them. Here are several strategies to address this issue:
1. **Optimizing the Grinding Process**
- **Cooling Measures**: In dry grinding operations, reducing the amount of material removed per pass can help control heat buildup. Wet grinding, on the other hand, uses grinding fluids, which can be water-based or oil-based. Water-based fluids generally provide superior cooling compared to oil-based ones.
2. **Selection of Grinding Wheels**
- **Hardness**: Opt for softer grinding wheels, as they tend to dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the likelihood of cracks forming.
- **Abrasive Type**: Using sharper abrasives can minimize the heat produced during the grinding process.
- **Grinding Margin Distribution**: A two-step approach can be employed: coarse grinding with a softer wheel followed by fine grinding with a finer-grit wheel. This method reduces the load per cut, minimizing heat generation and the risk of cracks.
- **Feed Speed**: Slowing down the grinding wheel's feed rate is another practical way to lower the risk of cracks.
By implementing these techniques, we can significantly reduce the heat generated during grinding, thus decreasing the chances of cracks forming on the workpiece. This not only enhances the appearance of the final product but also ensures its structural integrity and quality.
