Assessment of Grinding Characteristics of CVD-SiC Through Indentation Testing

The primary focus of this study is to delve into the theoretical basis of CVD-SiC and to develop a predictive model for its grinding properties. This research involves a comparative analysis of the grinding properties of CVD-SiC through Vickers indentation and grinding experiments. The findings offer a practical calibration method for determining the optimal depth in ductile mode grinding for common applications. Additionally, the study discusses the influence of various parameters on the grinding efficiency and surface integrity of CVD-SiC, providing insights into the material's behavior under different operational conditions. The analysis further explores the correlation between indentation hardness and grinding performance, establishing a comprehensive understanding of how microstructural characteristics impact the overall machinability of CVD-SiC. This work contributes to the development of more efficient grinding techniques and improved material performance in industrial applications
