Precision grinding of cemented carbide ball valves by resin diamond wheels with different pore-forming agents
To improve the machining effect of cemented carbide ball valves,pore-forming agents were introduced into resin diamond wheels.The mechanical properties,microstructures,and grinding performances of the wheels were ana-lyzed,and the effects of hollow glass ball pore-forming agent and plastic ball pore-forming agent on the performances of resin diamond wheels were studied.The results show that the bending strength of the grinding wheel decreases gradu-ally with the increase in the content of pore-forming agent,and the influence of the two pore-forming agents on bending strength is basically the same.The hardness of the grinding wheel also decreases with the increase in pore-forming agent content,but the influence of the hollow glass ball pore-forming agent on the hardness of the grinding wheel is signific-antly greater than that of the plastic ball.The addition of pore-forming agent significantly improves the sharpness of the grinding wheel.The comprehensive performance of the grinding wheels is best when the volume fraction of hollow glass balls is 15%and the volume fraction of plastic balls is 20%,but the latter has better overall performance than the former.
