Final Report Abstract

High performance internal traverse grinding using electroplated CBN grinding wheels offers high potential for bore machining of parts made of hardened steel. The process enables the combination of roughing and finishing in a single axial feed stroke at high material removal rates and with low tool wear. However, process control is hard to achieve especially regarding errors in the geometry of the bore caused by the heat induced by the grinding process and by deflections of tool and machine tool. The main focus of the project reported here was on extending a simulation system, which is able to predict the influence of process heat and workpiece clamping on the bore geometry and was developed in the course of the DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm 1480 (Thermal Effects in Complex Machining Processes), with models for process forces, grinding system deflections and tool wear. By combining an empirical compliance model with a surrogate single grain force model, calibrated using FEM, the developed geometric physically based simulation is able to predict the influence of deflections on the geometry of the bore. Using this simulation a novel NC path design was developed and a reduction of the remaining error in the profile along the bore by approximately 50% was achieved in an industrial example process. Furthermore, based on extensive empirical tool wear experiments, a modified grinding wheel was elaborated, which doubled tool life using the same process parameters.
