Grinding and polishing are widely used surface finish operations for a variety of precision and delicate component of ceramics, such as silicon wafers and gauges. However, the formation and evaluation of the subsurface damage induced have not been investigated, although subsurface damage is extremely important to the quality of the products. Grinding and polishing are usually carried out by a s...

In this paper, iron ore sample from the Chadormalu was investigated to determine some comminution properties. Chadormalu deposit is one of the largest iron ore mine in Iran, which is located in Yazd province. The representative ore sample contained 57%Fe, 0.9%P and 0.17%S. The sample was crushed; afterward, it was ground in various grinding times according to the Bond Ball mill approach to spec...

The aim of this study was to determine a suitable amount of grinding of a flexural test specimen for clinical evaluation of dental ceramics. Three dental ceramics (Crys-Cera, OCC and IPS Empress Cosmo) were selected. Five types of bar-shaped patterns were prepared for a three-point bending test, and four types of disk-shaped patterns for a biaxial flexural test. Ceramic specimens were fabricate...

-A vermiculite (Libby, Montana) sample obtained from the Zonolite company contained mostly coarse-grained separates with only 8.7 per cent clay. The 2-50 #m fraction was used for particle-size reduction studies by wet and dry grinding, and size-fractionated into < 2, 2-5, 5-20 and 20--50 #m sizes. About 18 per cent of the sample was attrited to clay after 64 hr of wet grinding, but as much as 5...

In the current work we present approach to study the mechanism of the cutting of abrasive grains in the grinding wheel using finite element analysis (FEA). The simulation process is done by separating two abrasive grains from the grinding wheels and the microprocess of material removal in the case of surface grinding is simulated. Modelling was done on the workpiece steel S-7 and material grain...

objectives: the aim of this in-vitro study was to assess the thermal effect of light emitting diode (led) light curing unit on the enamel etching time. materials and methods: three treatment groups with 15 enamel specimens each were used in this study: g1: fifteen seconds of etching, g2: five seconds of etching, g3: five seconds of etching plus led light irradiation (simultaneously). the micro ...

Industrial robots are introduced to belt grinding processes of free-formed surface with elastic wheel nowadays in order to obtain high quality product and high efficiency. However, it is a laborious task to plan grinding paths and write programs for the robot. To release people from it partially, it is necessary to simulate the belt grinding processes which are useful for path generating and dy...

The purpose of this paper is to understand the combined effect of thermal and mechanical plastic deformation on residual stresses in ground components. The interactions between a grinding wheel and a workpiece, including both thermal and mechanical interaction, are simulated by triangular surface loads moving with the table speed of grinding. Cooling is modelled by a uniform convection over the...

THE ATTRITIOUS AND FRACTURE WEAR OF GRINDING WHEELS by Stephen Malkin Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering February 1968, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Science A detailed investigation is made of the nature and extent-of grinding wheel wear in finish grinding. The wear is broadly classified as either attritious or fracture wear. Attritio...

Nano-porous silicon were simply prepared from p-type single crystalline silicon wafer by electrochemical etching technique via exerting constant current density in two different HF-Ethanol and HF-Ethanol-H2O solutions. The mesoporous silicon layers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the width of nano-p...
