A study on grinding characteristics of CBN single abrasive grain

CBN 단입자의 연삭특성에 관한 연구

Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is known the second hardest material followed diamond and was provided industry as an abrasive grain in the late 1960's. Since the introduction of CBN, a large amount of research has been carried out to determine the best application condition for grinding operation. Despite the advantages in its characteristics, CBN has not yet gained full acceptance as more excellent abrasive grain than traditional one. The reason for this state is that the surface roughness ground by CBN is worse than by traditional one and dressing and truing is very difficult. This led user's resistance to the use of CBN as an abrasive grain. Present study is to investigate the cause of lower surface roughness ground by CBN single crystal abrasive grain comparing with traditional one.

본 연구에서는 초입자인 CBN단입자와 기존의 연삭입자인 SiC단입자를 연삭입 자로 하고, 경강과 연강의 공작물재료를 단입자로 연삭했을 때의 표면거칠기 특성을 단입자의 절삭현상으로부터 비교 구명하고 CBN입자에 의한 연삭의 경우가 표면거칠기 가 악화하는 원인을 구명함으로써 이것을 토대로 하여 CBN입자의 실용 보편화의 자료 로 삼고자 하였다.
