In order to decrease the negative environmental impacts of the cutting fluids (for example, disposal of grinding sludge) and also to reduce the manufacturing costs and the required space for the machines the dry grinding can be a conceivable alternative for the conventional grinding processes. Nevertheless, dry grinding has not been widely introduced into industry because of the high temperature generated in the grinding zone and difficulties of heat transfer without coolants. Selection of the proper grinding wheel bonds, grit sizes and concentration has significant effect on the grinding performance and the generated heat in the contact zone. This paper addresses the effects of the grinding wheel bond and the concentration on the dry grinding process efficiency through comparing the results of the carried out experiments with three resin bonded cBN-cup-wheels, each consisting different bond components. For this purpose, surface roughness and thermal damages during dry and wet grinding (utilizing grinding oil) by three different resin bonds were measured. The results show almost identical surface roughness values for dry and wet grinding. Furthermore, using the resin-kryolith-graphite bonded wheel leads to a reduction in thermal damages on the workpiece. Through different experiments, it was shown that the different bonds, used in this study, have significant influence on the chip loading of the grinding wheels. This is contributed to the different chip formation mechanisms and induced grinding temperatures when grinding by the different wheel bonds.

Grinding Conditions

This study addresses the wet grinding of large stainless steel sheets, because it is difficult to subject them to dry grinding. Because stainless steel has a low thermal conductivity and a high coefficient of thermal expansion, it easily causes grinding burn and thermal deformation while dry grinding on the wheel without applying a cooling effect. Therefore, wet grinding is a better alternative. In this study, we made several types of grinding wheels, performed the wet grinding of stainless steel sheets, and identified the wheels most suitable for the process. As such, this study developed a special accessory that could be attached to a wet grinding workpiece. The attachment can maintain constant pressure, rotational speed, and supply grinding fluid during work. A set of experiments was conducted to see how some grinding wheels subjected to some grinding conditions affected the surface roughness of a workpiece made of a stainless steel sheet (SUS 304, according to Japanese Industrial Standards: JIS). It was found that the roughness of the sheet could be minimized when a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) grinding wheel was used as the grinding wheel and tap water was used as the grinding fluid at an attachment pressure of 0.2 MPa and a rotational speed of 150 rpm. It was shown that a surface roughness of up to 0.3 μm in terms of the arithmetic average height could be achieved if the above conditions were satisfied during wet grinding. The final surface roughness was 0.03 μm after finish polishing by buffing. Since the wet grinding of steel has yet to be studied in detail, this article will serve as a valuable reference.

This paper deals with cutting ability of progressive Norton Quantum grinding wheel during grinding roll bearing steel 100Cr6 of hardness 61 HRC. Cutting ability of this wheel is compared with conventional grinding wheel and based on measurement of grinding forces as well as surface roughness. Results of experiments show that Norton Quantum grinding wheels are capable of long term grinding cycles at high removal rates without unacceptable occurrence of grinding chatter and surface burn whereas application of conventional wheel can produce excessive vibration and remarkable temper colouring of ground surface. Moreover, while Norton Quantum grinding wheel gives nearly constant grinding forces and surface roughness within ground length at higher removal rates, conventional grinding wheel (as that reported in this study) does not.

Removal Processes

Grinding, a technique for removing abrasive materials, is a chip-removal process that uses an individual abrasive grain as the cutting tool. Abrasive material removal processes can be very challenging owing to the high power requirements and the resulting high temperatures, especially at the workpiece-wheel interface. This paper presents a novel system that uses graphite particles impregnated in an aluminum oxide matrix to form a grinding wheel. This study specifically investigated grinding wheels with a graphite content of 0.5 wt%. The new grinding wheel was compared with conventional grinding wheels by comparing the factors of grinding performance, such as surface roughness, morphology, wheel wear ratio, grinding temperature, and grinding forces, when the wheels were used under two different coolant strategiesdry and with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) using pure water. This study found that there is a considerable improvement in the grinding performance using graphite-impregnated grinding wheels over the performance obtained using conventional grinding wheels. The use of 0.5 wt% graphite provided better surface roughness and topography, lower grinding temperature, and decreased force; in addition, wheel consumption was lower, resulting in extended wheel life.

Structuring of the grinding wheels is a promising method to reduce the forces involved in grinding, especially during dry grinding. In this paper, one of the methods of grinding wheel structuring is presented. The structuring process was modeled to find the corresponding dressing parameters for the desired structure dimensions. The cylindrical grinding operation with the structured wheels was simulated to produce a spiral free ground surface. Afterwards, the dry grinding experiments with the structured and non-structured wheels were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of the structured wheels. The results revealed that the grinding forces can be reduced by more than 50% when the grinding wheels are structured, while the surface roughness values increase by 80%.

Aiming at solving the problems of wheel loading in dry grinding of Carbon/Epoxy composite materials, a novel electroplated grinding wheel with controlled abrasive cluster was developed, in which the diameter of clusters is in Φ0.2 mm to Φ1.0 mm and the interspace between them is about 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. A conventional electroplated grinding wheel with abrasive grains distributed randomly was fabricated in the same way. The comparison experiments involving C/E composite were conducted on a vertical spindle grinder with the novel and conventional grinding wheels. The results show that the grinding forces of novel wheel developed is more lower though little larger surface roughness, and the wheel loading phenomenon is markedly decreased compared with conventional electroplated wheel.

Cooling And Lubrication

This paper presents the results of experimental research concerning the possibility of supporting the cooling function during internal cylindrical grinding using the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method by additional delivery of a compressed cooled air (CCL) stream. The article presents a description of a hybrid method of cooling and lubrication of the grinding zone integrating centrifugal (through a grinding wheel) lubrication with the minimum quantity of lubricant and cooling with a compressed cooled air stream generated by a cold air gun (CAG). The methodology and results of experimental studies are also presented in detail, with the aim of determining the influence of the application of the hybrid method of cooling and lubrication of the machining zone on the course and results of the internal cylindrical grinding process of 100Cr6 steel in comparison with other methods of cooling and lubrication, as well as compared with dry grinding. The research results obtained using the described hybrid method of cooling and lubrication of the grinding zone are related to the results obtained under the conditions of centrifugal MQL method, cooling with a stream of CCA, cooling and lubrication with a stream of oil-in-water emulsion delivered using the flood method, and dry grinding. The efficiency of the grinding process is evaluated (based on the average grinding power Pav, grinding wheel volumetric wear Vs, material removal Vw, and grinding ratio G), along with the thermal conditions of the process (based on the analysis of thermograms recorded by infrared thermal imaging method), the textures of machined surfaces (based on microtopography measured by contact profilometry), the state of residual stress in the surface layers of workpieces (determined by X-ray diffraction method), and the state of the grinding wheels’ active surfaces after grinding (based on microtopography measured by laser triangulation and images recorded with a digital measuring microscope). The obtained results of the analyses show that the application of the hybrid method allows for the longest wheel life among the five compared grinding methods, which is about 2.7 times the life of grinding wheels working under the flood cooling and centrifugal MQL methods, and as much as 8 times the life of grinding wheels working under the conditions of CCA only and dry grinding.

Cbn Grinding Wheel

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 random input (cutting elements of the grinding wheel) and outputs (surface roughness and the tool wear) of a grinding process are investigated. The influence of the physical and geometrical properties of the grinding wheels with regard to averages, correlation functions, and dispersion spectra for the dressed and worn cutting space is determined. The transfer function of the grinding process in terms of the surface roughness of the workpiece and the wear of the grinding wheel is developed, and the cutting ability of the grinding wheel is defined and investigated.

The loading of the grinding wheel and adhesion of the workpiece material to the cutting edges of the grinding tool are among the main reasons which limit the process efficiency when grinding ductile materials. The micro topography of the grinding tool changes drastically as a result of loading. Higher grinding forces and temperatures, poorer surface quality and process accuracy are the consequences of the adhesion of the workpiece material to the grinding tool surface. A novel and promising technique to reduce the possibility of loading and adhesion in the grinding process is the infiltrating of the grinding tool. This study describes the results of infiltration of vitrified bonded conventional grinding wheels with graphite in the surface grinding process. The effects of infiltration have been studied for the first time on various grinding wheels with different grain materials, grit sizes, porosity and hardness. Two different types of steel which are very popular in the automobile industry, 100Cr6 and 16MnCr5, were chosen as the workpiece material by the surface grinding experiments. The selected cutting parameters cover a wide range of the practical surface grinding processes which are utilized generally in the industry. It has been experimentally shown that the type of infiltration plays an important role in reducing the loading of the wheel. Better surface quality and longer dressing intervals are the main results of the infiltration of the grinding tools.

Passive grinding is a new rail grinding strategy. In this work, the influence of grinding pressure on the removal behaviors of rail material in passive grinding was investigated by using a self-designed passive grinding simulator. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of the rail and grinding wheel were observed, and the grinding force and temperature were measured during the experiment. Results show that the increase of grinding pressure leads to the rise of rail removal rate, i.e., grinding efficiency, surface roughness, residual stress, grinding force and grinding temperature. Inversely, the enhancement of grinding pressure and grinding force will reduce the grinding ratio, which indicates that service life of grinding wheel decreases. The debris presents dissimilar morphology under different grinding pressure, which reflects the distinction in grinding process. Therefore, for rail passive grinding, the appropriate grinding pressure should be selected to balance the grinding quality and the use of grinding wheel.
