Abstract

Grinding involves many randomly shaped and distributed abrasive grains removing material from a workpiece. Wheel wear results when these grains dull, fracture or break away. As a result, grinding forces are time-varying. In order to automate and optimize the grinding process an understanding of how forces are generated and change during grinding is critical to avoid workpiece damage, surface finish deterioration, cracking, excessive heat generation, and excessive residue stresses. This paper builds upon the existing grinding literature by studying the relationships between wheel wear and grinding forces for different depths of cut when surface grinding mild steel with an aluminum oxide wheel.
