The Process Optimization Analysis of CBN Abrasive Cu-Sn-Ti Coating Fabrication via the Ultrasonic-Vibration-Assisted Laser Cladding Method

Ultra-precision machining has higher requirements for the performance of abrasive tools, but the traditional grinding wheel has some problems such as irregular grain arrangement, limited chip space, and high grinding temperature. Therefore, a structured grinding wheel suitable for ultra-precision machining is proposed. In this study, the laser cladding method and ultrasonic vibration technology were combined to study the preparation process of a structured grinding wheel. Firstly, the quality evaluation system of the printing layer was established, and the shape coefficient and dilution rate were used to evaluate the laser cladding quality. The effects of laser power, sweep speed, powder feeding speed, and ultrasonic power on the shape coefficient and dilution rate of the printing layer were analyzed by single-factor experiments. The level range of each factor in the orthogonal experiment was established to optimize the process parameters. The surface morphology was observed, and the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the morphology was analyzed. The structured grinding wheel was prepared according to the optimized parameters.
