Abstract
SUMMARY The relationship between the normal and tangential forces in grinding has been the subject of a number of research reports. There is a broad measure of agreement that the relationship between these forces is based on the coefficient of friction μ and a constant, the value of which is dependent on the grinding process parameters. This paper further considers the nature of the relationship between the forces, and using previously published values and results, advances empirical formulae to show how the values for the coefficient of friction and the constant will vary for a range of wheelspeeds, metal removal rates and dressing leads. The value for the coefficient of friction is shown to be highly dependent on the heat input to the process, thus-confirming some of the conclusions of earlier research.
