Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) are designed to overcome the main drawbacks of monolithic ceramics, especially their brittleness, in high-performance and safety-critical applications. Owing to the inherent properties of CMCs, especially heterogeneous structure, anisotropic thermal and mechanical behavior, and the hard nature of fibers or matrix, the machining process becomes extremely challenging as the generated surface suffers from undesirable quality. Taking the high hardness of ceramic matrix into account, grinding with diamond abrasives is the only efficient way for machining of CMC materials. The aim of this paper was to study the influence of grinding parameters (cutting speed, feed speed, and depth of cut) and different cooling-lubrication conditions (i.e. dry, fluid, and minimum quantity lubrication) on surface roughness, process efficiency, and tool wear. The results indicated that MQL leads to the best results in terms of surface quality and process performance. Furthermore, increasing of cutting speed and feed speed decreased and increased surface roughness, respectively, while depth of cut had an insignificant effect on the roughness value. Regarding the experimental results, four machining strategies considering quality, productivity, and efficiency criteria were developed. Eventually, the material removal mechanism was evaluated using SEM photos, indicating that brittle fracture is the dominant removal behavior of CMC materials.

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a new class of high technology materials which can be utilized as a replacement for metallic super-alloys. CMCs have a vast array of applications in modern industries due to their upstanding properties, including low density, relatively high hardness and fracture toughness, and high corrosion and wear resistance. Extremely high hardness and inhomogeneous structure of CMCs cause unstable process and high grinding forces and temperature. This research was conducted in order to overcome the grinding challenges of these composites by recognizing and analyzing the effects of main process parameters comprising cutting speed, feed speed, and depth of cut on the grinding forces, specific energy, and grinding force ratio in three different environments including dry, wet and MQL grinding. To evaluate the significance of input parameters and their influence on the responses and also to derive predicting equations, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed. It was concluded that MQL technique is the most efficient cooling-lubrication method where implementation of this process reduces the tangential grinding force by 38.88% and normal grinding force by 31.16%, relative to dry grinding; however, the amount of force reduction in wet grinding is 34.22% for tangential grinding force and 24.81% for normal grinding force, relative to dry grinding. In addition, increase of cutting speed leads to reduced grinding forces and force ratio and higher amounts of specific energy, and also increase of feed speed and depth of cut cause higher grinding forces and force ratio and lower amounts of specific energy.
