Novel method for numerical reconstruction of grinding surfaces with specified roughness parameter set

Surface roughness parameters play a decisive role on grinding surface service performance. Among 26 surface roughness parameters, closely related to the surface performance and defined by ISO25178, in the 6 categories, numerical reconstruction of grinding surfaces can only control 7 height parameters and 2 spatial parameters with inability to achieve precise control of other parameter-defined features. Therefore, a novel numerical reconstruction method for grinding surfaces with specified rough parameter set (SRPS) was proposed to solve the problem of feature loss caused by other uncontrollable parameters. Combine three characteristic coefficients of height probability density function in Johnson transformation method with four characteristic coefficients of autocorrelation function expression to construct surface reconstruction coefficient set (SRCS) and build SRPS with number of 22 in consideration of the measurement error influence and industrial application frequency. Use BP neural network to establish quantitative mapping model between SRCS and SRPS for inversion. Through introducing genetic algorithm to invert SRPS corresponding SRCS, numerical reconstruction of grinding surfaces with SRPS will be realized. Experimental results show that compared with the measured grinding surfaces, the average error in SRPS of reconstructed surfaces is basically within 10%. The research provides a new means for the study of the surface performance, which solves the problem that the traditional rough surface modeling method based on random process theory could only associate 9 roughness parameters.

Automated summary

Surface roughness parameters are crucial for grinding surface performance. Traditional rough surface modeling methods cannot control the defined features accurately. This research proposes a novel numerical reconstruction method that utilizes a specific rough parameter set (SRPS) and employs a neural network for inversion, achieving numerical reconstruction of grinding surfaces.
