Abstract
The surface topography of ceramic grinding wheels used in creep feed grinding is examined in this study. Creep feed grinding experiments are performed using seeded gel (SG) grinding wheels. The three-dimensional surface of the grinding wheel is observed using a two-dimensional high-definition laser displacement sensor, and the effective cutting-edge number is calculated based on three-dimensional surface observations. Microscopic wear behaviors of grain cutting edges are examined based on scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The cutting-edge area percentage is calculated based on SEM images via the discriminant analysis method. Results show that the micro self-sharpening phenomenon can be evaluated quantitatively. Micro sharp cutting edges on grains and normal grinding forces are suppressed. Subsequently, the relationship between the grinding characteristics and behaviors of the SG wheel working surface is investigated.
