Inconel 718 Trials

Three grinding wheels listed in Table 19.5 were each tested using an L827 orthogonal array to determine the most favorable conditions.

The aluminum oxide wheel listed having 42% porosity gave better results than a number of other aluminum oxide wheels tested for grinding Inconel 718. The CBN wheels listed also had increased porosity, 40% compared with 35% and showed improved grinding performance for Inconel 718. Porosity was selected based on work by Cai [2002].

Best dressing and grinding conditions for the three wheels used for Inconel 718 were

• Conventional-speed Al2O3 wheel. The wheel was dressed with a single-point diamond, ad = 2 pm, vd = 1.2 mm/s, and nd = 2. Grinding conditions were vs = 45 m/s, vw = 20 m/min, tso = 10 s, and Q’w = 2 mm3/mm/s.

• Conventional-speed vitrified B151 CBN wheel. The wheel was dressed at vr = -12.6 m/s, ad = 2 pm, vd = 1.4 mm/s, and nd = 2. Grinding conditions were vs = 45 m/s, vw = 20 m/min, tso = 10 s, and Q’w = 2 mm3/mm/s.

• High-speed B151 CBN wheel. The wheel was dressed at vr = -42 m/s, ad = 2 pm, vd = 8.5 mm/s, and nd = 2. Grinding conditions were vs = 120 m/s, vw = 26 m/min, tso = 2 s, and Q’w = 2 mm3/mm/s.
