A Study On Calculation Of Optimum Exchanged Grinding Wheel Diameter When Internal Grinding

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a study on optimum calculation of the exchanged diameter of grinding wheels in internal grinding of stainless steel. In this study, the effects of the grinding process parameters including the initial diameter, the total depth of dressing cut, the wheel life, the radial grinding wheel wear per dress and the ratio between the length and the diameter of the workpieces on the exchanged grinding wheel diameter were explored. The influences of cost factors including the machine tool hourly rate and the grinding wheel cost were also investigated. To evaluate the effects of these parameters on the optimum exchanged grinding wheel diameter, a simulation experiment was created and performed by and a computer program. A proposed model to determine the optimum exchanged grinding wheel diameter was given based on the results of the study.
