Investigation into High-Speed/Super-High Speed Grinding

Abstract

Abrasive machining is a widely employed finishing process for different-to-cut materials such as metals, ceramics, glass, rocks, etc to achieve close tolerances and good dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. High speed and super-high speed abrasive machining technologies are newest developed advanced machining processes to satisfy super-hardness and difficult-to-machining materials machined. In the present paper, high-speed/super-high speed abrasive machining technologies relate to ultra high speed grinding, quick-point grinding, high efficiency deep-cut grinding were analyzed. The efficiency and parameters range of these abrasive machining processes were compared. The key technologies and the newest development and current states of high speed and super-high speed abrasive machining were investigated. It is concluded that high speed and super-high speed abrasive machining are a promising technology in the future.
