The issue of grinding saponite–titanium composites has not been considered in the machine building industry yet. The reason is that the chips are stuck on the working surfaces of abrasive tools made of silicon carbide and electrocorundum. This is due to the high adhesive activity at operating cutting temperatures between the composite and traditional abrasives.The article aims at studying the grinding of saponite–titanium composites using abrasive tools in various cutting modes based on parametric and non-parametric statistical methods.To solve this problem, high porous wheels (HPW) made of cubic boron nitride CBN30 with 100 % concentration on a bond V (K27), a pore-forming KF40, varied grains: B76, B126, B151 (ISO 6106:2013) – and hardness: M and O (ISO 525:2013) were used to grind saponite–titanium composites. Additionally, the Norton wheels from green silicon carbide with a normal porosity 39C (46; 60) K8 VK and with different grain size were tested. Norton wheels provide reduction of roughness height by 1.4–1.5 times in comparison with boron nitride HPW. These are recommended for the finishing grinding stage and HPW CBN30 – the preliminary to reduce the thermal effects on composites. By processing stability, the Norton wheels with grain 46 rank first, and among boron nitride HPW – CBN30 B76 100 OV K27–KF40.
This scientific paper was devoted to estimate roughness parameter of processed casted parts surfaces after abrasive blasting. It was offered to apply abrasive blasting processing, instead of shot blasting, of internal surface of water meter manufactured by molding with the purpose to increase productivity of the surface processing. There were shown roughness measurement results of experimental studies of processed surfaces using different technological regimes. It was shown an easy and simple way how to measure roughness using digital images of scanned processed surfaces and analyzing them in Gwyddion v.2.41 software. It was also introduced a formula which predict roughness of treated surface after abrasive blasting processing.
