Grinding Parameters

2.1 INTRODUCTION Grinding, in comparison to turning or milling, is often considered somewhat of a “black art” where wheel life and cycle times cannot be determined from standard tables and charts. Certainly precision grinding, being a finishing process with chip formation at submicron dimensions occurring by extru­sion created at cutting edges with extreme negative rake […]

Dressing

7.1 INTRODUCTION Understanding the procedures and mechanisms of dressing grinding wheels is critical to obtaining optimum performance in grinding. The available dressing methods are numerous and confusing — even the basic terminology varies from one manual or paper to another. For the purposes of this discussion, the following terms will be used: • Truing: Creating […]

Wheel Life

The statement that a process can be controlled “within an acceptable range” requires some definition. A recent study by Hitchiner and McSpadden (2005) investigated the process variability of various vitrified cubic boron nitride (CBN) processes as part of a larger program to develop improved wheel technology. They showed that under “ideal” conditions repeatability of wheel […]

DETERMINATION OF GRINDING WHEEL TOPOGRAPHY

3.3.1 Introduction The determination of the grinding wheel topography can be divided into static, kinematic, and dynamic methods [Bruecher 1996]: • Static methods—All abrasive grains on the surface of the grinding tool are considered. The kinematics of the grinding process is not taken into account. • Dynamic methods—In this process, the number of actual abrasive […]
