One of the main methods for processing engineering ceramic materials is grinding. Due to the high hardness of engineering ceramic materials, micro cracks and other defects are prone to occur during the processing. At the same time, grinding wheels are expensive, grinding efficiency is low, and processing costs are high (general processing costs account for 65% to 90% of the total cost). Therefore, it is very important to develop appropriate processing techniques and process ceramic parts with high quality, efficiency, and low cost as much as possible.
The characteristics of grinding structural ceramic materials: ① The grinding force ratio is large (about 3-14) [1], which is much higher than the grinding force ratio of ordinary grinding wheels (about 1 6-1.9), with high grinding resistance and low processing efficiency. ② The hardness of the material is high, and the grinding ratio is much smaller than that of steel. At the same time, the cost of abrasive tools is high, resulting in high processing costs.
The grinding process and surface quality of structural ceramic materials are different from those of metal materials and ordinary brittle materials. The characteristics of high hardness, high strength, and certain brittleness of structural ceramic materials determine that their grinding process is mainly characterized by brittle fracture, accompanied by elastic scratches, plastic flow deformation, and other phenomena, making it difficult to control the surface quality of grinding.
Diamond grinding wheels are commonly used for grinding structural ceramics. With the improvement of material properties, the research on new grinding methods for structural ceramics has also attracted increasing attention from researchers. Currently, new methods that can be used for structural ceramic grinding include constant pressure grinding and ELID mirror surface grinding.
TiCN ceramics are Ti (C, N) based ceramics. Compared to metals, they are similar to commonly used structural ceramics and have properties comparable to hard alloys. They have characteristics such as high temperature resistance, high hardness, corrosion resistance, and low coefficient of expansion.
2.1 Selection of grinding wheel
Due to the advantages of high bonding strength, high stiffness, good heat resistance and wear resistance, and no fear of moisture, ceramic bonded alumina grinding wheels are selected to process the inner and outer ring grooves of TiCN metal ceramic bearings. As metal bonded diamond grinding wheels are commonly used for rough and fine grinding of hard alloys and ceramics, metal bonded diamond grinding wheels are used for the end face and inner and outer diameters of TiCN metal ceramic rings. The particle size of the grinding wheel has an important impact on the surface quality and grinding efficiency of the machining process. In the preliminary test, the diamond grinding wheel with a particle size of 230 #/270 # has severe blockage when grinding TiCN metal ceramics. Therefore, the diamond particle size of the inner and outer diameters and end faces of the rough grinding ring is 120 #/140 #, and the particle size of the fine grinding grinding grinding wheel is 160 #/180 #; The particle size of the inner and outer groove grinding wheel is 160 #/180 #.
2.2 Grinding process for TiCN metal ceramic bearing rings
Taking 6205 bearing as an example, the main machining surfaces of its inner and outer rings include two end faces, inner and outer diameters, and inner and outer ring grooves. Among all machining surfaces, the requirements for the inner and outer ring grooves are the highest, and the quality of groove machining directly affects the operational performance of the bearing.
Due to the non-magnetic nature of TiCN metal ceramic ferrules, the machining of ferrule channels requires the design of specialized pneumatic fixtures, which have complex structures and high precision requirements. During the trial production of TiCN metal ceramic ring, the structure shown in Figure 1 was adopted. A thin bearing steel ring was bonded to one end face of the TiCN metal ceramic ring to facilitate magnetic adsorption and clamping on the channel grinder, achieving channel processing.

We chose a grinding wheel for processing TiCN metal ceramic rings, developed a grinding process for TiCN metal ceramic rings, and produced TiCN metal ceramic rings. If mass production is to be carried out, further improvement of the ring processing technology is needed to adapt to the mass production of rings.

Ceramic taper roller bearing refers to radial thrust roller bearing with cylindrical roller.
It belongs to the separation type bearing, the bearing inner and outer ring have conical raceway.
Single row tapered roller bearings can bear radial load and single axial load.
When the bearing bears radial load, an axial component force will be generated, so another bearing which can bear the axial force in the opposite direction is needed to balance it.
