【 摘 要 】

Two-phase, brittle-hard materials are widely used not only in the tool industry but also increasingly in the aerospace industry. Due to the two-phase nature, the materials have unique material properties adapted to the respective application. But the material properties also lead to challenging machinability. Therefore, two-phase, brittle-hard materials are mostly ground. The analogy process of single-grain scratching is used to analyse the material removal behaviour and design the grinding process. Since single-grain scratching is time-consuming and costly, it is desirable to substitute the analogy process with numerical simulation. This paper discusses the suitability of the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) simulation method in combination with the Finite Element Method (FEM) for single-grain scratching of two-phase, brittle-hard materials. The approach is validated using the examples of tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) cemented carbides and Silicon carbide fibre-reinforced silicon carbide (SiC/SiC) ceramics. For both applications, the material removal behaviour was optically analysed and in good agreement with the experimental results and theoretical assumptions. For SiC/SiC ceramics, several surface phenomena could be identified in the simulation as well as in the experimental results. The scratching forces were compared qualitatively and were in good agreement with the experimental results for both applications.
