Testing of a CNC Control Abrasive Belt Grinding Machine Based on Ultrasonic Thick Measure for Nuclear Zirconium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

A highly efficient precision grinding method was proposed for the development of Zr-4 alloy used in nuclear industry. The key techniques to develop this new grinding machine are presented in detail, including soft grinding wheel head, ultrasonic thickness measurement system. An automatic polishing and grinding system was built, which is based on ultrasonic thickness measurement technology. According to a lot of grinding experiments, reasonable, accurate and efficient Zr-4 Alloy grinding parameters was determined. The experiments show that when the line speed of belt is about 18 m/s; the workpiece feed rate is 1000mm/min; grinding head cylinder pressure is 0.12Mpa, the silicon carbide abrasive belt of P80 particle size can get 0.02mm grinding amount and achieve excellent grinding effect.
