Grinding of Maraging Steel Vaco 180 with SiC Grinding Wheels - Grinding Force and Wheel Wear

Abstract

Grinding is a technology which is used as a surface finishing operation. Therefore it is important for achieving good dimensions of accuracy. This accuracy can be affected by the size of wear of the grinding wheel. The size of the grinding wheel wear can be affected by the size of the grinding forces. Both of these factors can be influenced by the grinding parameters and the grinding wheel composition. Therefore, this article focuses on the influence of grinding parameters on the wear of grinding wheels and the size of the grinding forces when grinding VACO 180 maraging steel using SiC grinding wheels.
