Abstract The milling process of SiCp/Al composites with high volume fraction and large particle size has been studied in this paper. The stress and strain distribution of SiC reinforced particles and the removal mechanism of the material are analysed. The effects of milling depth and feed per tooth on surface quality were analysed. The effect of feed per tooth on the thickness of subsurface damage layer is revealed. The results show that in the end milling process of high volume fraction SiCp/Al composites, the blade diameter is larger relative to the particle size, which leads to the main removal forms of particle size: extrusion crushing and rolling crushing. The surface defects of the machined workpiece mainly include cavity, crack and delamination caused by extrusion of aluminum matrix. The surface quality of the machined workpiece can be improved by increasing the milling depth appropriately. The increase of the feed rate of each tooth will lead to the increase of the surface defect of the machined workpiece and the deterioration of the surface quality. When the feed rate per tooth increases from 4 to 8 μm, the thickness of subsurface damage increases from 47.7 to 60.5 μm. It is found that the ratio between the minimum cutting thickness of SiCp/Al composites and the radius of the cutting edge should be less than or equal to 4%.

AbstractThe existing research on SiCp/Al composite machining mainly focuses on the machining parameters or surface morphology. However, the surface quality of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction has not been extensively studied. In this study, 32 SiCp/Al specimens with a high volume fraction were prepared and their machining parameters measured. The surface quality of the specimens was then tested and the effect of the grinding parameters on the surface quality was analyzed. The grinding quality of the composite specimens was comprehensively analyzed taking the grinding force, friction coefficient, and roughness parameters as the evaluation standards. The best grinding parameters were obtained by analyzing the surface morphology. The results show that, a higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain a better surface quality. The final surface quality is related to the friction coefficient, surface roughness, and fragmentation degree as well as the quantity and distribution of the defects. Lower feeding amount, lower grinding depth and appropriately higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain better surface quality. Lower feeding amount, higher grinding depth and spindle speed should be chosen to balance grind efficiently and surface quality. This study proposes a systematic evaluation method, which can be used to guide the machining of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction.

Abstract In order to improve the surface grinding quality of high volume fraction aluminum matrix composites, the cutting tool models with different rake angles are established, the grinding process is simulated, and the material removal mechanism and the broken state of SiC particles are obtained. Through single factor experiment, the 60% volume fraction SiCp/Al2024 composites are ground by diamond grinding rod with 3mm diameter, the surface roughness (Ra) is measured, and the surface and sub-surface quality of SiCp/Al2024 composites with meso-scale grinding is investigated. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of grinding depth (ap) on surface quality is put forward, and the influence of different grinding depth on the fragmentation of SiC particles in sub-surface layer is discussed, which verifies the correctness of grinding simulation. The relevant research and theoretical model are of great significance to the study of grinding properties of composite materials.

Ultrasonic Grinding

High volume fraction SiCp/Al composites were grinded in rotary ultrasonic vibration aided grinding in this experiment, exploring the effects of different grinding parameters (grinding depth, grinding wheel speed, feed rate) on grinding force and the material removal mechanism with ultrasonic grinding. The results showed that grinding force of ultrasonic grinding is lower than the ordinary grinding in the same grinding parameters. Studying on material removal mechanism of ultrasonic vibration grinding is bound to have important theoretical and practical significance for the improvement of grinding processes and the development of mechanical according to the advantages of grinding and ultrasonic machining.

SiC/Al composites with high volume fraction of SiC were prepared at 1150°C by pressureless infiltration. The volume fraction of SiC was increased by decreasing the amount of starch in the green body. Both the microstructure and the strength of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the strength decreased with the increasing of the particle size and volume fraction of SiC. It was suggested that the interface between the SiC particles, which were not sintered, make of the defects in the composites. The defects led to the decreasing of the strength with increasing of the volume fraction of SiC.
