The grinding process has been investigated in the machining of titanium alloy with conventional grinding wheel and SG grinding wheel respectively. The machinability discussed here includes grinding force, surface roughness, dimensional accuracy, grinding ratio, grinding-wheel wear and grinding-wheel life. The SG grinding wheel is found to possess particularly good grinding properties and is more suitable for grinding titanium alloy when compared with conventional abrasive tools.

Cutting tools made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) are used for machining of aluminum alloys, fiber-reinforced plastic composites and wood. Compared to cemented carbide tools with geometrically defined cutting edges, PCD tools offer significant advantages with respect to tool life. High demands regarding the cutting edge roughness and the quality of the rake and the flank face usually require a grinding process with diamond grinding wheels. The PCD grinding process, however, is characterized by low material removal rates and high grinding wheel wear. The material removal rate and the grinding wheel wear, in turn, highly depend on the process state variables process force and process temperature. However, the relationship between these process state variables and the process input variables is largely unknown. This work provides a contribution to the closure of this knowledge gap by means of an adapted friction law. A single grain friction test stand using the pin-disk principle was developed, which enables a measurement of the friction force and the contact zone temperature for normal forces and relative speeds that are common in PCD grinding. During the experiments, the specification of the PCD disc, the cross-sectional area of the friction sample made of monocrystalline diamond as well as the process parameters normal force and relative speed were varied. In addition, the tests were carried out without lubrication as well as with a minimum lubrication. A high correlation between the contact force and the coefficient of friction was determined. This relationship was mathematically formulated in a friction law. In addition, a direct influence of the contact force and the relative velocity on the contact zone temperature was identified. The knowledge gained leads to an improved understanding of the PCD grinding process and thus enables a more efficient grinding process design.

The paper presents the experimental study conditions and results of M3X60K5VE01-35 monocorundum with vitrified bond grinding wheel wear in 100Cr6 steel peripheral grinding process. The effect of grinding wheel wear on the values of grinding force components as well as surface roughness parameters was analyzed. The grinding wheel wear was determined by profile measurement of the active grinding wheel surface using an inductive sensor. It was shown that the increase in the normal component of the grinding force during the process can be an acceptable criterion for wear of the grinding wheel due to the quasi-linear changes over time.

The tribology of the grinding process can be considered in the context of a tribosystem, in which the main structural elements (grinding wheel, workpiece, grinding fluid, and environment) are interrelated and interdependent. One of the most important factors influencing the contact conditions of these listed elements of the grinding process tribosystem are the proper selection of grinding fluids and anti-adhesive substances, as well as careful consideration of how they are applied. This article describes a new zonal centrifugal coolant provision system as well as the results of experimental studies conducted into its use. The aim of these experiments was to determine the impact of the system of grinding fluids provision on grinding wheel radial wear in the surface grinding process of steel CrV12. Reference methods within the described studies consisted of dry grinding and grinding using the flood method, among others. The obtained results of the experiment revealed that the use of a zonal centrifugal coolant provision system enabled the acquisition of a similar radial wear rate of the grinding wheel at 90% reduction of grinding fluids flow rate, compared with flooding method. It was also demonstrated that in the most favorable conditions, it is even possible to significantly reduce the intensity of the radial wheel wear, compared with the conventional method.

In finishing machining, the quality of workpiece is significantly influenced by the performance of solid cutting tool. Solid cutting tool flank is ground by CNC tool grinder in accordance with the tool path of grinding wheel. In actual grinding process, the grinding area of wheel will be gradually worn down, resulting in the decrease of geometric accuracy of flank and even wrong profile. In order to compensate the error, a compensation algorithm of tool path for solid cutting tool flank based on grinding wheel wear is proposed. Firstly, the coordinate systems are defined for the grinding process of flank, and the orientation and location calculation model of ideal wheel with the grinding process parameters is derived. Secondly, based on the profile description of wheel wear, flank errors are analyzed. Then, the compensation algorithm for anastomosis of cutting edge and relief angle is proposed. Finally, series of experiments of simulation and actual grinding are carried out. The comparison of the results shows that the algorithm can reduce the influence of wheel wear effectively, which can also improve the grinding quality stability and prolong the service life of grinding wheel.

This study aims to propose a method to calculate optimum exchanged grinding wheel diameter to minimize grinding cost in grinding surface process for stainless steel. The interactions of the grinding cost and optimum exchanged grinding wheel diameter have been analyzed and presented in mathematical formulae. To obtain the minimal grinding cost, the optimal exchanged grinding wheel diameter has been determined by investigating six two-level grinding process parameters including initial grinding wheel diameter, total dressing depth, radial grinding wheel wear per dress, wheel life, machine tool hour and grinding wheel cost. Based on 26 experiments conducted in computational program, the optimal exchanged grinding wheel diameter is presented as a function of these grinding parameters. This developed model has been verified and proven by experimental results. The proposed method of calculation of the optimum exchanged grinding wheel diameter can be applied in practice to reduce the grinding cost.

This paper is concerned with the application of nonlinear programming methods to the surface grinding of steels and considers the specific case of plunge grinding. Performance equations based on a model of the process are presented and then optimized. Trade-off curves are established showing the best metal removal rate possible for given constraints on surface quality and at specified conditions of grinding wheel wear. Optimum values for the various parameters in the grinding process are also included. In addition, the sensitivity of steel grinding performance to nonoptimum choices of grinding wheel velocity and diameter is considered.

Surface geometries of grinding wheels vary due to the wear in grinding process. Since the wheel wear patterns are affected by the grinding process, measuring and investigating these patterns quantitatively, grinding process can be evaluated whether appropriate or not. Utilizing a three-dimensional measuring device for wheel surfaces developed so far, this study aims to evaluate wheel wear patterns quantitatively. As the results, applying developed device, it is clarified that wheel wear pattern can be classified and evaluated quantitatively.
