Parametric influence on cutting parameters characteristics in precision machining of ceramic coating materials

PROF. MOHAMMED YUNUS, DR.J. FAZLUR RAHMAN

Abstr actCeramic coated components have the advantage f eatures of both metal and ceramics, i.e. good t oughness, high hardness and w ear resistance. Despite their outstanding characteristics, ceramic materials are not used in many cases due to high cost of machining. A major draw back to engineering applications of ceramic is due to their brittleness and f rac ture toughness, w hich makes them diff icult and costly to machine.

In order to study the precision machining processes of ceramics like grinding and lapping, experiments w ere conducted to f ind out the in- f luence of various cutting parameters on surf ace quality production as w ell as grinding and lapping performance.

Surface grinding of ceramic coating materials w as done on samples specimens coated w ith Alumina (Al2O3), Alumina - Titania (Al2O3- TiO2) and Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ )using diamond and CBN (cubic boron nitride) grinding w heels. Based on the experimental r e- sults, the inf luence of cutting parameters, namely, cutting f orce, surf ace roughness and bearing area characteristics w ere ev aluated and optimu m machining conditions have been suggested for better perf ormance in precision machining of ceramic coating materials.

1 INTRODUCTION

ITH the projected wide spread applications of ceramic coating materials, it is necessary to develop an appro- priate technology for their efficient and cost effective
machining processes[5],[7], [9] and [11 ]. Grinding of c eramics
is a difficult task, as it is generally associated with cracking, splintering and delamination of surfaces. Conventional processes and tools are not generally suited for the machining of ceramics. Standard machining tools can be used with opti- mization of machining parameters in operating conditions [
13-14 ]. Various precision machining techniques that could be
adopted for efficient machining of cera mic materials, namely grinding and lapping processes are studied in detail for the parametric influence of various cutting parameters of prec i- sion machining of ceramic coating materials.
Ceramic coated components used in industrial applica-
tions, generally require post treatments like heat treatment
and surface finishing by precision machining [1-8]. Good sur- face finish and high efficiency in machining to meet the d e- mands of tight tolerances are generally achieved by grinding, lapping and polishing like precision machining processes [3].
Grinding of ceramics is a difficult task, as it is generally associated with cracking of surface. In order to study the

effect of precision measuring processes [15], experiments were conducted to check the machining parameters like surface quality, grinding forces etc. on ceramic coated components for different machining conditions.
The main object of this s tudy is to evaluate the behavior of A, AT, PSZ, Super-Z a lloy and ZTA cera mic coating materia ls s ub- jected to different grinding conditions . The performance was ev a- luated by machining grinding force [20-22], s urface finis h [17] and bearing area characteris tics [18] and als o oil film retainability characteris tics [15].

2 EXP ERIM ENTAL PROCEDURE

Three different commercially available ceramic coating powd- er materials namely, Alumina (Al2O3), Alumina-Titania (Al2O3-TiO2), Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) were used for the preparation of coatings [10-14]. A 40 KW Sulzer, Metco plasma spray system with 7MB gun is used for this plasma spraying of coatings. Mild steel plates of 50x50 x6 mm were used as substrate to spray the ceramic oxides. They were grit blasted, degreased and spray coated with a 50 to 100 microns Ni Cr Al bond coat. The above ceramic materials were then plasma sprayed using optimum spray parameters.

2.1 Precision Machining of Ceramic Coating

Grinding: Using diamond and CBN grinding wheels [20] with the surface grinding trials were conducted with the grinding conditions mentioned below in table 1. Machining trials were conducted on different ceramic coated specimens (A, AT and PSZ ceramic coatings).

Grinding wheel used Diamond of 185 grit size

CBN of 120 grit size

Wheel speed used 5 to 30m/sec Depth of grinding 10 to 40μm Work feed 0.5 mm/sec


The main object of this study is to evaluate the behavior of A, AT and PSZ ceramic coatings subjected to different grin d- ing conditions. The performance [18] was evaluated by mea- suring
1. Grinding force (Normal and Tangential force)
2. Surface finish produced which also includes the bea r-
ing area characteristics
3. Oil retainability characteristics.

2.2 Force Measurement

The normal gr inding force (Fn) and the tangential force (Ft) wer e measur ed using gr inding dynamom eter [17] and [21].The gr ound samples w er e measur ed for differ ent sur face finish parameters such as Ra , Rt, and t p using Taylor Hobson’s stylus tracing pr ofilometer.

2.3 Lapping


A circular disc of 200 mm in diameter made of bright steel and a pin of 6mm diameter were coated with NiCrAlumel bond coat of thickness 75μm and subsequently coated with different coaing materials namely, Alumina (A), Alumina- Titania (AT), Partial Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ), Super-Z alloy and ZTA [19-20].

Type of Machine Flat sur face hand lapping

Lapping medium Abrasive and diamond compound paste.

Diamond size 2-10 μ m

Lapping speed 0.2 m/sec Lapping pressure 0.5 MPa Lapping time duration 25 minutes

Samples were initially ground to achieve pre lapping finish and then further lapped under the conditions mentioned above in table 2. The process variables were lapping time (ranging 5 to 25 minutes ) and size of the diamond abrasives in lapping [18].
The lapped dis cs were thoroughly cleaned and meas urement
in res pect of s urface finis h was made us ing Taylor Hob son’s sur- face finis h profilo meter.

2.4 Oil retainability test

The oil retainability of ceramic coated surfaces was estimated us ing SAE 120 lubricating oil. In order to exp lain the oil retain ability of cera mic coated s urfaces , the coated plates (s pecimens )
were ground and lapped to half the area of the plate and the rest half left as it is . Oil droplets were then put o n thes e two parts of the s pecimen and left untouched for 3 hours . The specimens with the oil droplets were then obs erved further increas e in diameter us ing a travelling micros cope and oil s preadability on ground and lapped surfaces were s tudied.

3 R ES ULTS AND DIS CUSS ION

3.1 Results of Grinding

It has been noticed that, during the grinding of ceramic coa t- ings, grinding forces were found to be varying considerably with increasing grinding speed. Also, it is observed that, with CBN wheels grinding force components (Ft and Fn) were found to be higher when compared to diamond grinding wheel as shown in figures1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 30, 31,
32 and 33. Besides, it is noticed that, the increase in the depth of grinding, generally improved the surface finish. During trials on grinding of ceramic coatings, grinding velocity, a range of 10 – 15 m/sec and depth of grinding 30µm were a s- sessed to be more critical. It is also observed grinding of Al u- mina-Titania (AT) and Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) c e- ramic coatings with diamond wheel gave better surface finish.

3.2 Results of Lapping

It is concluded that, surface finish of lapped ceramic coa t- ings, improved with lapping time and remains constant after
15 minutes of lapping time in case of AT and PSZ, whereas in
case of Alumina (A), it attains saturation after 20 minutes of lapping time. It is also seen among the coatings that, AT could be lapped better than the other two.
Bearing area characteristics of sprayed and ceramic coa t- ings with diamond wheels are shown in figures 36, 37, 38, 39,
40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45. It is observed there is no much varia-
tion in the bearing area characteristics of coated ceramic su r- faces subjected to diamond wheel grinding, but AT exhibits faster tendency to attain cent percent tp area. With CBN grind- ing, rapid improvement in bearing area characteristics of Alumina is observed due to improved grinding of brittle ma- terials (like Alumina). This is due to grinding forces ass ociated with CBN grinding wheels, CBN grains, cuts the ceramics rel- atively cooler (CBN is thermally more conductive) compared to diamond wheel. It is also seen that, diamond wheel is more sensitive to grinding condition and with CBN wheel it is poss- ible to go for higher depth of grinding , because of better thermal properties of CBN.

3.3 Results of Oil Retainabilty Test

Ceramics find wider applications from bearings to critical components of I.C.Engines. Some of the applications require for porosity control to enhance the strength and also to pro- vide adequate film and damping qualities. For evaluating oil retention capability and to find out the surface quality during precision machining, oil machining test have been carried out. It is seen that, as sprayed ceramic surface could not retain more oil on the surface (because of its layer surface porosity) and hence the oil film thickness was found to be less, but thickness of oil film on ground and lapped surface was larger

compared with the as sprayed ceramic surface. This may be due to the closure of pores in surface grinding. It is seen that, closure of pores and surface asperities take place on the su r- faces of AT and PSZ coating than with Alumina coatings. Lapping further improved surface finish of ceramic coa tings by reducing porosity and oil film thickness on the lapped su r- face was correspondingly higher. The oil retainability of the different coated plates after machining to 10μm depth of cut on the basis of three hours observation is shown table 3.

4 CONCLUSION

Oxide ceramics such as Alumina (A), Alumina -Titania (AT) and Partial stablized zirconia (PSZ), Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) and Super-Z alloy have been widely used for many industrial applications by deposition of thick film of hard materials on a relatively softer substrate of the engineering components. Before deciding on particular type of coatings, it is essential to look into its characteristics which includes machinability for control of size and shape of end products. Hence it has become objective of the present work to characterise and machine for precision and to identify the optimal conditions for the development of oxide ceramic coatings. Based on the trials on grinding and lapping of

ceramic coatings the following conclusions are made.
1. With CBN grinding wheels, grinding force components (Ft and Fn) were found be higher when compared to diamond grinding wheel[20].
2. It is noticed that, increase in depth of grinding,
generally the surface finish is improved.
3. During grinding of ceramic coatings, grinding velocity range 10 – 15m/sec and depth of grinding
30µm were found to be more critical.
4. Grinding of AT and PSZ ceramic coatings generally give better surface finish with diamond wheel.
5. From the data obtained by lapping of ceramic
coatings, it is observed that, surface finish increases with lapping time and saturation of surface finish takes place after 15 minutes of lapping time in the three ceramic coating materials mentioned.
6. AT could be lapped better than the other two (
Ra=0.25 µm and Rt= 4.2µm).
7. Surface texture details show that, AT exhibits faster tendency to attain cent percentage tp area (bearing area characteristic).

8. With CBN wheels, it is possible to go for higher depth of grinding than using Diamond grinding wheel because of better thermal properties of CBN wheels.
9. The oil retainability test reveals the thickness of oil
film on ground and lapped surfaces were larger
compared with as sprayed ceramic surfaces, which is due to closure of pores and surface irregulariti es taking place on machined surfaces. Which ishelpful from the point of view of oil film lubrication between parts having relative motion.
The above work has taken as product and development of
ceramic coated s urfaces are having immens e value for indus trial applications .
