Experimental Investigation on Grinding-Induced Surface Damage of Fiber Reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composites

The single factor experience of Fiber Reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composites (briefly named FCC) grinding was done on a NC optical curve grinding machine, and then the morphologie of the grinding surface was observed with an optical microscope. The effect of the grinding parameters, which include mainly grinding depth, abrasive grain size of diamond grinding wheel and grinding direction, on the grinding-induced surface damage of FCC was discussed, finally, the paper drew the conclusions that both increasing of grinding depth and increasing of abrasive grain sizes of diamond wheel can make the grinding-induced surface damage worse, and that different grinding directions also produce different effects on the grinding-induced surface damage.
