Grinding Force Predictions Based on Wear Theory

  • Chapter

Summary

The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent to which an abrasive wear approach gives a consistent and coherent picture of the grinding process. The parameters required to determine the normal grinding force will be described and the theoretical calculations compared with experiment. As a result of adopting a ‘wear theory’ of grinding two important parameters emerge; namely, the rate of metal removal per unit sliding distance and a ‘K’ factor which is an indication of the efficiency of the individual grits.
