ABSTRACT
Grinding wheel wear is an important issue for the single-layer brazed cubic boron nitride (CBN) wheel, which can affect its life, grinding performance, and quality. Therefore, it is important to deeply investigate the gradual wear behaviour and mechanisms of the brazed CBN wheel. In this chapter, the wear phenomenon of the brazed monocrystalline CBN grinding wheel was studied during the grinding process. The mechanical loads, thermal loads, and protrusion height of the brazed CBN wheel were studied, and then the wear phenomenon was discussed. Furthermore, in order to deeply understand the wear mechanisms, stress generation and development were achieved through finite element analysis. The effects of grain embedding depth, grain wear, and size on the brazing and resultant stress were studied, and then the effect of stresses on the grain wear in grinding was analysed.
