The ability to predict the critical depth for ductile-mode grinding of brittle materials is important to grinding process optimization and quality control. The traditional models for predicting the critical depth are mainly concerned with the material properties without considering the operation parameters.

Brittle materials fail by sudden fracture (without any warning such as necking). Energy absorbed by ductile materials before fracture under tensile testing is more. Brittle materials absorb very small energy before fracture. Various metal forming operations (such as rolling, forging, drawing, bending, etc.) can be performed on ductile materials.

As the cutting depth increases, groove geometry clearly reveals the ductile-to-brittle transition from the plastic deformation to a brittle fracture state. The material size effect in the ductile region as well as the transition in scribing behavior is well reflected by change in the specific cutting energy.

To analyze saw slicing properties and measure surface roughness, we use SEM to measure chip formation of ceramic materials. These methods can help us to know the brittle fracture mode and ductile regime grinding mode in ceramic materials remove modes. Finally, we condition parameters to gain ductile regime grinding mode of slicing ceramic ...

Recent developments of ductile mode machining of hard and brittle materials show that plastically deformed chip removal minimizes the subsurface damage of the workpiece. When chip deforma-tion takes place in the ductile regime, a defect-free nano-surface is possible and it completely eliminates the polishing process.

Grinding of (5) brittle materials under conditions that allow predominantly Fracture Energy jzf ductile material-removal is a new technology known as ductileConsequently, as the scale of machining decreases, plastic flow regime grinding, which is the subject of this paper. becomes an energetically more favorable material-removal mechanism.

The process of machining brittle materials where the material is removed by plastic flow, thus leaving a crack free surface is known as ductile-regime machining. Ductile machining of brittle materials can produce surfaces of very high quality comparable with processes such as polishing, lapping etc.

Ductile removal behavior of hard and brittle material in the process of machining has always been a sticking topic. A series of nanoscratch tests of K9 glass were conducted with Berkovich probe on nanoindenter XP to investigate the ductile removal process, material deformation and crack damage. It was found that the scratches surface was free from crack damage in the …

It is widely known that ductile regime machining should be maintained in machining of the brittle material in order to achieve a high quality finish. According to the hypothesis of ductile regime machining, all brittle materials undergo a transition from the brittle to the ductile machining region at a critical undeformed chip thickness.

Ductile regime grinding, proposed by Bifano, is an important method for achieving high quality surfaces of hard brittle materials (1991). Bifano also gave a theoretical description of the ductile grinding condition of different brittle materials, pointing out that ductile-regime grinding could be achieved by a small feed rate.
