Abstract
Widespread and popular use of ceramic products in various industry sectors necessitates the search for methods of their efficient processing. Lapping technology, which enables obtaining high dimensional and shape accuracy and high surface flatness, is one of the basic methods of finishing hard and brittle technical ceramics with a porous structure. This study analyzed the characteristics and wear value of an SLS-printed abrasive tool intended for single-sided lapping of Al2O3 technical ceramics. As earlier research demonstrated, introduction of a 3D printed lapping plate by selective laser sintering (SLS), leads to a significant development in the field of precision machining technology. This method showed not only efficient machining performance on oxide technical materials, but was also characterized by relatively low abrasive wear. Straightness errors were evaluated with the use of a least-squares method (LSQ) and minimum zone method based on control line rotation scheme (CLRS). The proposed model proved the experimental results by identifying a similar location of a higher contact density on the lapping tool, where this location is expected to be the one for bigger wear. Surface topography of the lapping tool depends on the tool wear intensity and as a consequence on its shape error. An SLS-printed lapping plate, by obtaining good technological effects, revealed its potential ability in machining hard and brittle technical ceramics.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
