In this article, a study on intermittent surface grinding using aluminum oxide grinding wheel with ceramic binder is presented. The testing material is 20XH3A steel (GOST standard – Russian Federation). The testing sample has been sawn 6 grooves, with the width of each groove of 10 mm, the grooves are evenly distributed on the circumference of sample. The testing sample resembles a splined shaft. An experimental matrix of nine experiments has been built by Taguchi method, in which abrasive grain size, workpiece speed, feed rate and depth of cut were selected as input variables. At each experiment, surface roughness (Ra) and roundness error (RE) have been measured. Experimental results show that the aluminum oxide and ceramic binder grinding wheels are perfectly suitable for grinding intermittent surface of 20XH3A steel. Data Envelopment Analysis based Ranking (DEAR) method has been used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. The results also showed that in order to simultaneously ensure minimum surface roughness and RE, abrasive grain size is 80 mesh, workpiece speed is 910 rpm, feed rate is 0.05 mm/rev and depth of cut is 0.01 mm. If evaluating the grinding process through two criteria including surface roughness and RE, depth of cut is the parameter having the greatest effect on the grinding process, followed by the influence of feed rate, workpiece speed, and abrasive grain is the parameter having the least effect on the grinding process. In addition, the effect of each input parameter on each output parameter has also been analyzed, and orientations for further works have also been recommended in this article

The grinding process of Titanium (Ti) alloys is extremely difficult as the cutting temperature is much higher than other machining processes due to the low thermal conductivity, high chemical reactivity, and rapid work hardening during machining of Ti alloys. This research investigates the effect of technology parameters on the surface roughness in the surface grinding of Ti–6Al–4V (Ti64) alloy with resinoid cBN grinding wheel. The experimental results show that the surface roughness is significantly affected by the feed rate, depth of cut (DOC) and cooling condition. Increasing feed rate or DOC all provides the higher surface roughness. The surface roughness obtained in the wet grinding is higher than those of the dry cutting. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of Ti64 surfaces show that the machining surface with fewer defects can be produced with wet grinding process.

The selection of optimum machining parameters plays a significant role for the quality characteristics of products and its costs for grinding. This study describes the optimization of the grinding process for an optimal parametric combination to yield a surface roughness using the Taguchi method. An orthogonal array and analysis of variance are employed to investigate the effects of cutting environment (A), depth of cut (B) and feed rate (C) on the surface roughness characteristics of mold steels. Confirmation experiments were conducted to verify the optimal testing parameters. The experimental results indicated that the surface finish decreased with cutting-fluid and depth of cut, but decreased with increasing feed rate. It is revealed that the cutting fluid environment had highest physical as well as statistical influence on the surface roughness (71.38%), followed by depth of cut (25.54%), but the least effect was exhibited by feed rate (1.62%).

Grinding technology is used in this study to overcome the hard machining of ceramic with hard and brittle characteristics. The grinding machine with diamond grain size 25 and 5 , spindles speed 1720 rpm and 3450 rpm are applied. Combining the unintentional roll clamp and the grinding machine, ceramic rods can be ground to the desired size.In the research, surface profilometer is applied to measure the rod surface roughness of processing results under different conditions. The results show that the grinding wheel with finer particle, the roughness of the ground ceramic rod will be better. While the rotation speed of grinding wheel is increased, the surface roughness will have the same trend.

Different metals can respond differently when grinding using the same abrasive grinding wheel, especially in terms of surface quality. In this context, this work aims give a contribution to the metalworking industry by presenting the results of surface finishing after grinding the following metals: VP Atlas steel grade, Gray Cast Iron and two superalloys, Inconel 718 and Ti-6Al-4V. Tests were performed with the aluminum oxide grinding wheel and with following parameters: cutting speed of 37.6 m/s and workspeed of 10 m/min. Two values of depth of cut (15 μm and 30 μm) were tested. The surface roughness (Ra and Rz parameters) were analyzed and SEM images of the machined surfaces were taken and analyzed in order to identify the cutting mechanisms and provide better results discussion. The results showed that the surface roughness increased with the depth of cut; Ra values kept below 0.48 μm for all metals tested. Regarding the machined surface quality, some cracks were observed on the gray cast iron and Ti-6Al-4V surfaces, thereby indicating their relative lower grindability compared to VP Atlas steel under the investigated conditions. No visual thermal damage was observed in the machined surfaces of the samples.

In this study, the mutil-objective optimization was applied for the surface grinding process of SAE420 steel. The aluminum oxide grinding wheels that were grooved by 15 grooves, 18 grooves, and 20 grooves were used in the experimental process. The Taguchi method was applied to design the experimental matrix. Four input parameters that were chosen for each experiment were the number of grooves in cylinder surface of grinding wheel, workpiece velocity, feed rate, and cutting depth. Four output parameters that were measured for each experimental were the machining surface roughness, the system vibrations in the three directions (X, Y, Z). The DEAR technique was applied to determine the values of the input parameters to obtaine the minimum values of machining surface roughness and vibrations in three directions. By using this technique, the optimum values of grinding wheel groove number, workpiece velocity, feed-rate, cutting depth were 18 grooves, 15 m/min, 2 mm/stroke, and 0.005 mm, respectively. The verified experimental was performed by using the optimum values of input parameters. The validation results of surface roughness and vibrations in X, Y, Z directions were 0.826 (µm), 0.531 (µm), 0.549 (µm), and 0. 646 (µm), respectively. These results were great improved in comparing to the normal experimental results. Taguchi method and DEAR technique can be applied to improve the quality of grinding surface and reduce the vibrations of the technology system to restrain the increasing of the cutting forces in the grinding process. Finally, the research direction was also proposed in this study

In this paper, the analysis on the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness of workpieces in surface grinding has been conducted. Experimental SUJ2 steel grinding process is made with CBN grinding wheel. The tests is made on an APSG-820/2A surface grinder. The Box- Behnken method has been used to design experiments. Minitab 16 statistical software has been used to analyze ANOVA test results. The results show that the feed-rate has the greatest effect on surface roughness, followed by the least effects of velocity of workpiece, depth of cut on surface roughness. The interaction between velocity of workpiece and depth of cut has the greatest effect on surface roughness, followed by the effects of the interaction between the feed-rate and depth of cut, the interaction between velocity of workpiece and the feed-rate has insignificant effects on surface roughness. This study also shows the value range of some cutting parameters for processing surface of workpiece with small roughness. Finally, a regression model of surface roughness has been established in this study.

There are lower grinding force and temperature in quick-point grinding process because of the higher grinding speed and the less depth of cut, especially the point contact between the grinding wheel and the workpiece due to the point grinding angles. Thus it can achieve better surface finishing process in grinding cylindrical surface. Since the point grinding model is different from the conventional cylindrical grinding in theory, the surface roughness is in relation to the point-grinding angles greatly besides the grain granularity, depth of cut, grinding speed and axial feeding rate like the conventional cylindrical grinding process. Based on the theoretical studies on the surface roughness in the process, the surface finishing experiments and measures at the various grinding parameters were performed. The experimental results show that the process parameters, such as point-grinding angles, depth of cut, grinding speed and axial feeding rate, must be controlled reasonably for the higher surface finishing demand in quick-point grinding process.

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has been widely used in the medical engineering due to its high strength to weight ratio, creep and wear-resistance, and anti-allergically properties. Grinding is generally used to produce PEEK parts with high accuracy and surface quality requirements. In this research, the tool loading and the effect of cryogenic cooling in the grinding of PEEK are studied for the first time. It is shown that the generated heat in the grinding process, which is mainly influenced by the tool micro-topography, process parameter, and coolant lubricant has an important role in the surface integrity of PEEK. Additionally, the influence of specific material removal rate and the dressing speed ratio on the specific grinding energy of PEEK was studied. The input parameters of the grinding process that are investigated in this study include cutting speed (vs), depth of cut (ae), and feed rate (vft). To investigate the grinding wheel topography, the effects of dressing overlap ratio (Ud) and the dressing speed ratio (qd) were also investigated. Grinding force, surface roughness, and loading of the grinding wheel were considered as output parameters. The experiments were designed based on response surface methodology and the optimum cutting condition was obtained based on this method. The depth of cut and the dressing overlap ratio had respectively the maximum and minimum impact on the surface roughness and cutting forces. Additionally, the tool loading was mainly influenced by the cutting speed.

Grinding is a widely used manufacturing method in state of art industry. By realizing needs of manufacturers, grinding parameters must be carefully selected in order to maintain an optimum point for sustainable process. Surface roughness is generally accepted as an important indicator for grinding parameters. In this study, effects of grinding parameters to surface roughness were experimentally and statistically investigated. A complete factorial experimental flow was designed for three level and three variable. 62 HRC AISI 8620 cementation steel was used in grinding process with 95-96% Al2O3 grinding wheel. Surface roughness values (Ra, Rz) were measured at the end of process by using depth of cut, feed rate and workpiece speed as input parameters. Experimental results were used for modeling surface roughness values with linear, quadric and logarithmic regressions by the help of MINITAB 14 and SPSS 16 software. The best results according to comparison of models considering determination coefficient were achieved with quadric regression model (84.6% for Ra and 89% for Rz). As a result, a reliable model was developed in grinding process which is a highly complex machining operation and depth of cut was determined as the most effective parameter on grinding by variance analysis (ANOVA). Obtained theoretical and practical acquisitions can be used in various areas of manufacturing sector in the future.
