As a high-performance and difficult-to-machine material for the manufacture of blades, titanium alloys are increasingly being used in high-end manufacturing industries such as aerospace and aircraft. As engineering applications become more demanding, so do the requirements for precision. However, to date, the choice of blade grinding parameters is still mainly dependent on the traditional “trial cut” and “experience” method, making the processing efficiency low and the quality of processing difficult to be guaranteed. In order to achieve the requirements of high precision and low surface roughness of the workpiece, to get rid of the status quo of relying on manual decision-making, and to achieve reasonable prediction and control of surface quality, this paper proposes to establish a theoretical prediction model for surface roughness of titanium alloy by abrasive belt grinding, and to analyze the influence of the main process parameters on surface roughness during the grinding process through experiments. A theoretical prediction model for surface roughness was developed. The experimental results show that the model has certain accuracy and reliability, and can provide guidance for the high-precision prediction of the surface roughness of ground titanium alloy blades, which has strong practical significance in engineering.
