The Production of Fine Surface Finishes while Maintaining Good Surface Integrity at High Production Rates by Grinding

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Machine Tool Design and Research Conference

Abstract

The production of fine surfaces at low cost underlies our industrial economy and relates to the efficiency of manufacture of many products. In recent years the grinding process has been developed to the point where stock removal rates, surface fmish, surface integrity, and the correction of initial geometrical errors can be predicted and better controlled through the recognition of basic grinding parameters. These parameters relate the stock removal, wheel wear, surface finish and surface integrity to the grinding machine operating variables such as wheel speed, work speed, feed rate etc. Using these relationships the optimum grinding conditions can be found for producing workpieces at minimum cost while maintaining good surface finish and surface integrity.
