Abstract
This paper deals with the ground surface roughness theoretically and experimentally, which is one of the most important value in grinding technique. Basing on the results of scratch-deformation experiment using a single abrasive grain, the theoretical formula is presented on the surface roughness of metals ground by a contact wheel type belt grinder. The formula has five variables, that is, numbers of cutting edges existing in the contact area between the abrasive belt and the workpiece, normal load applied to the contact area, the hardness of the workpiece, the pointed angle of abrasives and the factor obtained from the scratch test. The formula can explain the effects of contact wheel, of grain size and of grain wear to the ground surface roughness from the standpoint of the number of cutting edges in the contact area. The adequacy of the formula is discussed by the results of the grinding test. The formula may give the approximate value which can be used in metal processing industries.
