Zr-4合金管砂带随形磨削实验分析

采用3种不同磨料的砂带对Zr-4合金管进行了磨削工艺试验，探究了磨粒与工件间的交互创成机理，得到了Zr-4合金材料砂带磨削过程中材料去除率和表面粗糙度的主要影响因素。借助先进的测试设备，对磨削后的砂带磨粒磨损形貌、工件表面形貌进行了观测，并对Zr-4合金表面烧伤层金相组织及显微硬度变化规律做了分析研究。试验结果表明：砂带线速度、磨削压力、接触轮硬度和磨料种类对材料去除率和表面粗糙度均有较大的影响，其中砂带线速度影响最为显著；锆刚玉和氧化铝磨粒的粘附磨损较为严重，碳化硅磨粒主要以磨耗磨损为主；工件烧伤时材料表层金相组织发生变化，使得Zr-4合金物理机械性能下降。试验及研究结果为寻求高效、高精度Zr-4合金砂带磨削加工工艺提供了试验和理论依据。

Experimental analysis of the abrasive belt follow-up grinding of Zirconium-4 alloys tubes and pipes

Abrasive belt grinding experiments of Zr-4 nuclear power tube are carried out by using three different abrasive belts with same size, and the interactive generating mechanism between abrasive and workpiece is analyzed, the main factors of material removal rate and surface roughness of Zr-4 alloys are obtained. With the help of the advanced test facilities, the abrasive grain abrasion and surface topography of the workpiece are observed. The metallographic structure and microhardness of the layer of burnt surface during Zr-4 alloys Grinding are analyzed. Some conclusions are given as follows: the material removal rate and surface roughness are mainly affected by the factors of belt speed, grinding pressure, hardness of the contact wheel and abrasive type, of which, the belt speed is the strongest factor. The adhesion wear of the Zirconium corundum and aluminium oxide abrasive grit is more serious, the most important wear form of silicon carbide is abrasion wear. With the onset of grinding burn, the mechanical properties of Zr-4 alloys are deteriorated obviously. The results provide a theoretical and experimental basis for technical optimization in the grinding of Zr-4 alloys with efficiency and high quality.
