Abstract

This article presents the surface burn behavior when creep-feed grinding gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) intermetallic. First, the main characteristics of burnt surface morphology were detected. Subsequently, surface burn mechanism was revealed by analyzing compositional changes in the surface layer via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Lastly, the effects of grinding temperature on grinding force and surface integrity were discussed. Finding showed that a high grinding temperature would lead to a heavy color, from light brown to hyacinthine, on the burnt surface. The burning process was dominated by oxidation of Ti and Al. Ti was generally in the state of TiO₂ on the ground surface, whereas lower valence oxide of Ti was found on the subsurface. This oxide layer could produce a reduced ratio of the tangential grinding force to the normal one. Elevated temperature would produce grinding and quenching cracks on a burnt surface, and tensile residual stress might be developed if the temperature is extremely high. Surface morphology and topography characteristics indicated that, unlike conventional titanium alloys (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V), a marginal physical reaction occurred on the workpiece surface during the burning process of γ-TiAl intermetallics due to poor material ductility.
