Diamond grinding wheel is used in high precision grinding process, when work piece has a very high hardness. For a specific grinding interval, the wheel must be properly dressed, in order to remove swarf, sharpen the worn diamond grits, open up new diamond protrusions, and recondition the bond material. Dressing of diamond grinding wheel by alumina dressing tool has been simulated in a pin-on-disk machine in the research. Sharpening of the wheel is indicated by the increase of its roughness value, and surface microstructure with protruding sharp diamond grits. It was found that increasing of sliding distant from 100 to 500 m will increase the roughness of the wheel. The increase of contact load from 10 to 20 N will also increase roughness of the wheel, and the severity of wheel wear, indicated by high values of friction coefficient. A proper dressing of this nickel bonded SD1200 diamond wheel is by sliding against alumina dressing tool for at least 300 m under 10 N load. Sliding velocity has minimal effect to the results. A too large sliding distant and load will cause severe damage to wheel surface, and severe wheel wear, indicated by its large mass loss.

In order to research the relationship between grinding wheel wear and the signal of grinding strength and grinding vibration, the grinding strength signal and grinding vibration signal under different wear condition were carried on digital processing by time-domain, frequency-domain, and wavelet-pocket analysis, and characteristic signal reflecting grinding wheel wear condition was obtained. Grinding wheel wear was monitored by time-domain statistics average value of grinding strength and energy value of three layers wavelet-pocket decomposition frequency band. The method how to set design parameters of neural network is introduced, and their value in condition monitoring network is determined. Mapping model of grinding wheel wear and characteristic signal is established. Recognition effect is satisfied in the experiment of grinding wheel wear condition monitoring. It confirmed the model is reliable and effective. The result shows that the new intelligent monitoring method is effective on monitoring grinding wheel deactivation condition.

A kind of brazed monolayer diamond grinding wheel was developed with a relatively regular distribution of grains on the wheel surface. Grinding performances of this kind of brazed wheel in the surface grinding of cemented carbide were studied. The experiment results show that the grinding forces ratio becomes higher with the increasing of the maximum undeformed chip thickness and the specific energy falls with the material removal rate during grinding cemented carbide process. Under certain grinding conditions, the material was removed almost through plastic deformation and good surface quality is gained. Furthermore, the grits of the brazed diamond grinding wheel fail mainly in attritious wear modes other than pull-out ones in conventional electroplated and sintered diamond tools, which indicates that the strong retention of brazing alloy to the diamond grits and longer service life of this kind of wheel.

In order to realize ductile machining of optical glasses using mono-layer nickel electroplated coarse-grained diamond grinding wheel, a novel conditioning technique features using a copper bonded diamond grinding wheels of 15m grain size dressed by ELID (electrolytic inprocess dressing) to condition the 46m grain sized diamond wheel has been developed. During the conditioning process, a force transducer was used to monitor the conditioning force, a coaxial optical distance measurement system was used to in-situ monitor the modified wheel surface status. White-light interferometry (WLI), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the conditioned wheel surface status as well as the ground optical glass surface topography correspondingly. The experimental result indicates that a minimized wheel radial run-out error of less than 2μm as well as the top-flattened diamond grains of constant wheel peripheral envelop profile were generated on a 5-axis ultra-precision machine tool. The grinding experiment proved that the well conditioned 46μm coarse-grained diamond wheel can be used in realizing the ductile grinding of optical glass BK7, which indicates that the newly developed conditioning technique is feasible and applicable to introduce the coarse-grained diamond wheels into precision machining of brittle and hard-to-machine materials.

The high hardness of brittle materials always make it hard to machine with traditional grinding wheels. Conventionally a diamond grinding wheels was used to improve the poor processing capability. Usually the specific grinding energy had been used as an indicator of machinability. According to its definition, the specific grinding energy increases with the active contact area of the grinding wheel decreases. In other words, reducing the surface contact area of the grinding wheel can enhance the specific grinding energy effectively. Conditioning grooves on grinding wheels not only enhance the specific grinding energy, but also achieve the effect of reducing the heat dissipated during the grinding processes. With the proper selection parameters, the high cost of diamond grinding wheel may be replaced by less expensive conventional green carbon and aluminum oxide wheel. In this studies, the relationship between the surface topography of grinding wheels and the grinding capability of brittle materials was investigated. The results show that, the traditional grinding wheel dressing properly while the depth of cut less than 20μm with the rhombic pattern and the depth of cut more than 20μm with the groove-like pattern can grind the brittle materials as good as using diamond wheel.

The wear of a brazed diamond wheel with diamond grits covered with brazing alloy was investigated in comparison with a traditional brazed wheel whose grits were without covering. The two wheels were brazed in vacuum furnace and grits on one of them were overlaid with a thin layer of brazing alloy. The wear of the two wheels was tested through grinding of granite, during which grinding forces were measured and the wear states of diamond grits were observed. It is shown that grits covered with brazing alloy exhibited stronger self-sharpening ability and fracture resistance. Therefore, the wheel with covered diamonds performed lower grinding force and better wear performance.

Advanced ceramic materials like sintered and presintered zirconia are frequently used in biomedical applications, where minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) assisted grinding is required to achieve a good surface finish instead of conventional flood coolant. However, insufficient cooling and wheel clogging are the major problems that exist in the MQL grinding process, which depends upon the type of work piece material and the grinding wheel being used. The present study is to determine the performance of the grinding wheels on presintered zirconia under MQL conditions in terms of grinding forces, specific energy, surface integrity, and wheel wear. Experiments are conducted with two different types of grinding wheels as silicon carbide (SiC) and diamond grinding wheels under the same condition. The results indicated that the diamond wheel provided a better surface finish and reduced tangential force under MQL condition, compared to the conventional SIC wheel. This was due to the reduction of wheel loading in the diamond grinding wheel. The specific energy of diamond grinding wheel was reduced with higher material removal rate compared to the conventional SiC wheel. The ground surfaces generated by the diamond grinding wheel showed fine grinding marks with better surface finish. The percentage of G-ratio calculated for the diamond wheel was higher than the SiC wheel by 77%. This was due to the sliding of the grains and less wheel loading in the diamond wheel. The cost difference between the corresponding wheels was discussed to improve the productivity of the grinding process.

The dressing methods of monolayer diamond tool have recently been developed increasingly because a substantial improvement of the ground surface roughness could be achieved with the dressed monolayer diamond tools. In this paper, a new dressing method was proposed, namely chemical-mechanical dressing of the diamond grits. Dressing experiments were carried out on the monolayer brazed diamond grinding wheel. The grit-tip distances from the base of wheel substrate were measured before and after dressing. Grinding experiments were conducted on K9 optical glass after each dressing interval. The roughness parameters of the ground surfaces were measured. The outcome of this attempt appeared highly encouraging, and the dressing of monolayer brazed diamond grinding wheel is effective with the chemical-mechanical dressing.
