Abstract
Tests were performed to investigate the effect of various parameters on the wear of a profiled grinding wheel when creep-feed grinding a nickel-base alloy. The wear of a number of different radii, angles and profile heights was monitored. It was found that this wear was strongly influenced by the total distance travelled by an individual grit while in contact with the workpiece and by the workpiece feed rate. In addition, using a neat oil grinding fluid resulted in less wear than a water-based fluid and a 120 grit wheel wore less than a 60–80 grit wheel. A simple theoretical model was developed for predicting the effect of stock removal rate on profile wear in the creep-feed grinding of a “difficult-to-grind” material and this gave good correlation with the experimental trends.
