This paper shows an optimization study on calculating the optimum replaced wheel diameter in internal grinding of stainless steel. In this work, the effects of the input factors, including the initial diameter, the grinding wheel width, the ratio between the length and the diameter of the work-pieces, the dressing depth of cut, the wheel life and the radial grinding wheel wear per dress on the optimum replaced grinding wheel diameter were considered. Also, the effects of cost components, including the cost of the grinding machine and the wheel cost were examined. Moreover, to estimate the influences of these parameters on the optimum replaced diameter, a simulation experiment was given and conducted by programming. From the results of the study, a regression equation was proposed to calculate the optimum replaced diameter.

This paper deals with automatic compensation of grinding wheel wear in wet grinding by pressure-based in-process measurement. A pressure sensor is set close to a grinding wheel with a small gap. When grinding fluid is dragged into the gap by the rotation, the wear of the grinding wheel can be predicted by using hydrodynamic pressure that has been generated, which corresponds to the gap thickness and topography of the surface. This method was applied to a numerically controlled surface grinding machine. Some characteristics of the pressure were measured. The pressure sensor was repositioned to keep the pressure constant with the null method. The spindle was also repositioned according to the sensor displacement, which was equal to the worn thickness of the grinding wheel. The error of the ground depth with compensation was less than the feeding step for the compensation. The measurement performance by the null method was compared with that obtained without compensation, with compensation by a deflection method and by the contact method.

Profile Errors

In the paper numerical methods are developed to enable a cam copy grinding machine to be analysed. A method for computing the former profile necessary to produce a cam specified by a required valve motion is described. The effects of grinding wheel wear and of machine setting errors on the profile of a production cam are investigated. Use is made of the dynamic analysis of Barkan in predicting the influence of these profile errors on the dynamics of a valve train. Finally, the possibility of changing the diameter of the former roller to compensate for grinding wheel wear is considered.

Wear Condition

Acoustic emission (AE) signals can provide tool condition that is critical to effective process control. However, how to process the data and extract useful information are challenging tasks. This paper presented an intelligent grinding wheel wear monitoring system which was embedded in a surface grinding machine. An AE sensor was used to collect the grinding signals. The grinding wheel wear condition features were extracted by a proposed novel method based on statistics analysis of the average wavelet decomposition coefficient. The detailed signal characteristics during different wear condition are described. A BP neural network was used to classify the conditions of the grinding wheel wear. The inputs of the neural network were the three extracted features, and the outputs were three different states of grinding wheel condition, namely primary wear, intermediate wear and serious wear. The intelligent monitoring system was evaluated through grinding experiments. The results indicate that the effectiveness of the proposed method for extracting features of AE signals and developed intelligent grinding wheel wear monitoring system are satisfied.

AbstractThere has been a great advance in the grinding process by the development of dressing, lubri-refrigeration and other methods. Nevertheless, all of these advances were gained only for continuous cutting; in other words, the ground workpiece profile remains unchanged. Hence, it becomes necessary to study grinding process using intermittent cutting (grooved workpiece – discontinuous cutting), as little or no knowledge and studies have been developed for this purpose, since there is nothing found in formal literature, except for grooved grinding wheels. During the grinding process, heat generated in the cutting zone is extremely high. Therefore, plenty of cutting fluids are essential to cool not only the workpiece but also the grinding wheel, improving the grinding process. In this paper, grinding trials were performed using a conventional aluminum oxide grinding wheel, testing samples made of AISI 4340 steel quenched and tempered with 2, 6, and 12 grooves. The cylindrical plunge grinding was performed by rotating the workpiece on the grinding wheel. This plunge movement was made at three different speeds. From the obtained results, it can be observed that roughness tended to increase for testing sample with the same number of grooves, as rotation speed increased. Roundness error also tended to increase as the speed rotation process got higher for testing the sample with the same number of grooves. Grinding wheel wear enhanced as rotation speed and number of grooves increased. Power consumed by the grinding machine was inversely proportional to the number of grooves. Subsuperficial microhardness had no significant change. Micrographs reveal an optimal machining operation as there was no significant damage on the machined surface.

Optimum utilization of grinding wheels can best be achieved if the nature of their performance and wear characteristics, and the factors that affect these characteristics, are understood and applied. As reported in this paper, a comprehensive, continuing, grinding-research program has contributed to such an understanding. A study of the nature of grinding-wheel wear indicates that the grinding-wheel wear curve is similar to those of other cutting tools. It demonstrates further that the type of grinding operation significantly affects the nature of wheel wear. A unique technique has been developed for very accurately measuring grinding-wheel wear. This measured wear may be translated into terms of “grinding ratio,” which is the generally accepted parameter for measuring wheel wear. It is the ratio of the volume of metal removed per unit volume of wheel worn away. Extensive studies have been carried out to determine the effect of mechanical variables on grinding ratio, power required in metal removal, and on surface finish. Experimental findings indicate that grinding ratio decreases with increased metal-removal rate and increases with workpiece diameter, decreased chip load, and increased concentration of grinding fluid. Power is found to increase with both the metal-removal rate and the amount of metal removed. It increases slightly with workpiece diameter and is affected little by work-material hardness. Surface finish is found to improve with decreased metal-removal rate and decreased chip load. It also is affected little by work diameter or work-material hardness. Fundamental research in the mechanics of wheel wear is supplying much additional information in the study of grinding-wheel wear. The measurement of grinding forces employing a cylindrical grinding dynamometer provides the opportunity for relating the wear of grinding wheels to the basic mechanics of the process through such fundamental quantities as grinding forces, specific energy, and grinding friction. Two additional experimental techniques for the study of chip formation in grinding have also proved to be most useful research tools. A “quick-stop” apparatus is used to freeze the grinding action by accelerating a tiny workpiece almost instantaneously to grinding-wheel speed. Another technique permits the comparison of the shape of the grinding grit and that of the contour of its path through the workpiece by a unique replicating method.

General Scale

During the grinding process the main role is played by the vibrating phenomena caused by primary imbalance of a wheel, features of its structure, and also the existence of a component arising in the general scale of vibrations and caused by the change of the structure of a working surface of a grinding wheel, wear of its working abrasive grains during the process. Intensity and amount of wear of the grinding wheel depends on conditions of grinding operation – kind of grinding, processed material, etc. In turn, the existence of close correlation connection between parameters of vibrations and modes of grinding allows to assume, that vibrating processes possess sufficient information and can form the basis for an assessment and forecast the perfection factor of a grinding wheel directly in operating conditions.
