Type: article
Abstract: This paper mainly deals with the reconstruction and fractal analysis of wear topography of brazed polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) grain in grinding process. On the basis of fractal analysis, the uncertainty in shape and complexity in wear mechanism are analyzed by means of the construction of micro fracture of PcBN grain after producing the brazed abrasive tool with PcBN grains and carrying out grinding test. The main results are summarized as follows: (1) Actual behavior of self-sharpening phenomenon due to micro fracture in the grinding process can be grasped and reconstructed using SEM and 3D video microscope. The reconstruction model can clearly express the complicated wear features and characteristics of the grain. (2) The fractal dimension can relate the performance of PcBN grain to its micro fracture, and then the self-sharpening phenomenon due to micro fracture can be evaluated quantitatively on the basis of fractal analysis.
