Surface Quality Effects Investigation of Micro-Grinding Soda-Lime Glass

Abstract

This paper presents a micro-grinding experiment on soda-lime glass to study the surface quality effective factors during micro grinding on hard brittle materials. The process of micro-grinding on soda-lime glass is showed in this paper and micro-grinding equipments are designed, fz(feed rate), ap (grinding depth), vg(Grinding speed) in micro-grinding brittle materials and their effects to surface quality have been discussed by experiments which were carried out on a desktop micro machine developed by NEU. Results proved that fz is the most important factor to the surface quality, and low surface roughness could be achieved by high vg and low fz in micro-grinding soda-lime glass.

Experimental investigations into the effect of process parameters on the machining quality for ITO conductive glass using by micro grooves grinding

“…By analyzing the cutting forces and surface roughness under different processing parameters, a prediction model for micro-grinding quality was obtained. Cheng et al [10][11][12] studied the removal mechanism of brittle materials through micro-grinding experiments on hard and brittle materials. Taking into account size effects, abrasive particle distribution, and tool morphology, a theory of maximum undeformed cutting thickness for micro-scale grinding was proposed based on traditional grinding techniques.…”
