Abstract
This article deals with the experimental grinding of cemented carbide cutting tools. Several carbide milling tools with the same geometry were ground under the different grinding conditions and strategy described in this research. The main aim is to determine the influence of the grinding process on the quality of the cutting edge. Different grinding conditions and strategies were used in grinding of the primary radial relief on the peripheral cutting edge. The cutting edge was analysed after grinding by an optical-scanning device and an electron microscope to determine the quality of the cutting edge and radial relief face of the tool. EDX analysis was used for the chemical characterization of the ground surface. The chipping of the cutting edge occurred when the grinding feed rate and the wheel spin direction was changed. The influence of the grinding conditions and strategy on the chipping formation was determined. The mean radius of the cutting edge after grinding was also measured. The results of this work will be used for further research and cutting experiments.
