Abstract

Dressing is a critical issue for optimizing the grinding process. Dresser tool and dresser parameters must be designed according to the grinding wheel material, shape, or even the dimensional and geometrical tolerances of the workpiece and its surface roughness. Likewise, one of the problematic issues of dressers is the wear that they suffer. In order to tackle this issue, the present work characterized the wear of two rotary dressers by analysing the wear behaviour depending on the pit radius of the dressers while studying the influence of the wear on ground surfaces. This work showed that the rotary dresser with a higher pit radius presents wear that is approximately 28% higher than the dresser with a half pit radius.

Summary

Introduction

The grinding process is a very important machining process characterized by the high added value of the ground parts. Its capacity for manufacturing advanced materials of poor machinability while achieving high-quality surfaces is made possible due to the combination of grinding wheel design, new advances in abrasives and an optimal dressing process. The use of super-abrasive grinding wheels, primarily CBN (cubic boron nitride), has become increasingly extensive in the industry due to their thermal stability and the absence of chemical affinity with ferrous materials. Due to the different bond used with CBN grinding wheels, vitrified grinding wheels present more advantages than the other resin bond, metallic bond or electroplated grinding wheels. These advantages are primarily related to the ability to transport the coolant, the efficiency of chip removal and the capacity for dressing using rotatory dressing tools
